SRI MARIAMMAN TEMPLE REVIEWS
Went there after my birthday dinner with my husband and was fortunate enough to witness the lamp lighting ceremony on the eve of Diwali celebrations. The music brings devotees back to a time of classical, ancient India ; Beautiful and Serene. Its truly my blessings to experience this holy ceremony on my birthday night.
196 years old architectural Marvel still standing strong as if it was recently built. The Temple itself is very beautiful and colourful. A must visit place of worship and attraction. Located in Chinatown and close to Maxwell MRT Station. Please don't forget to remove your footwear before stepping foot in the Temple.
Very neatly maintained and spacious temple just adjacent to China Town. Quite popular s can be seen from the local as well as tourist crowd the temple attracts.

SRI LAYAN SITHI VINAYAGAR TEMPLE REVIEWS
Sri Layan Sithi Vinayagar Temple hosts famous lord Ganesha. Temple is usually crowded with Indian devotees and you can see some Chinese like myself :) it is so peaceful and loving here. I walked around in the courtyard, offering prayers in 100 circles. After 1 and half year, my business went well. I think it is time to return and show my appreciation for the blessings received.
Beautiful temple of lord Ganapati at Singapore. Not only Indians but also a number of locals come here to offer prayer n obtain blessings of the Vighna Vinasaka. The temple has beautiful architecture on the Strotam entrance. It goes saying that if 108 times encircled the sanctum, all your wishes will be fulfilled. GANAPATI BAPPA MORIYA.
To have a temple in the town or CBD area was great. And to see Chinese folks believing in this temple shows our unity in this land of ours. We can live harmoniously as one. The temple has a long history. And is well liked by many.
