SRI MARIAMMAN TEMPLE REVIEWS
This is one of the oldest temples in Singapore, depicting Indian culture of Goddess Mariamman with different apparitions to defeat evil. Frequented by many Hindus on auspicious days to fulfill many vows which were granted with true faith and believe. Weddings are also held in the temple premises with strictly vegetarian meals offered to invitees. Fire-walking ceremonies are held in this temple once a year during the first quarter of the year in the evenings.
For a European, Hindu temples take some getting used to. We went through the temple with a local guide. That was very informative. One could study the gopuram with its many colorful figures for hours. Overall the atmosphere was relaxed. It goes without saying that one should be dressed appropriately and probably for every corner of the world.
Very well managed, clean & deeply rooted to culture representation by this temple. Daily puja with all rituals & process. Impressed with this temple at this foreign country.

Beautiful temple. Ganesha is still in my eyes. So so amazing. The vibe here is so calming. Very close to Outram Park MRT. Went on Sankatahara Chaturti. Did 108 rounds. The temple was crowded because it was a special day. So 108 rounds took 1hr 10 mins. The Prasadam is amazing too. Must visit.
Loved it.Very busy temple.Beautiful and serene too.I did 108 pradakshinam (going around the sanctum sanctorum on the outer circle inside the temple)praying for everyone's welfare. Prasadam offered ie Venn Pongal was of high quality and standard
It was very calm and had positive aura. People beleive, that this temple and deity has power, and people's wishes come true, when they offer prayers whole heartedly. Indians as well as local people come here to pray.
