Sri Mariamman, or “Mother Goddess” as she is known to Hindus, is honored at this temple, Singapore’s oldest Hindu place of worship. It was established in 1823 by Narayana Pillay, a government clerk who arrived aboard Raffles’ ship. The current temple was built in 1843 by former Indian convicts. Sri Mariamman is believed to cure diseases, so, appropriately, free medical services are available here.
