“Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple stands as the inaugural Hindu Temple erected in Singapore in the current millennium, equipped with contemporary facilities to cater to the Hindu community's burgeoning social, spiritual, and educational needs. The temple structure embodies the essential symbolism found in traditional Hindu temple architecture of South India. Sacred rituals, infused with divine energy, are conducted to sanctify the holy spaces within the temple premises. The temple undertakes 18 distinct rituals dedicated to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the idols. Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple also offers language classes in Tamil, Mandarin, and Malay, along with religious instruction in Buddhism and Hinduism. In a groundbreaking development in June 2004, the temple set a new benchmark in Hindu temple construction with the Sangustaapanam Ceremony. During this ceremony, devotees ceremoniously placed 1008 sangus—symbols of Goddess Lakshmi, believed to bring luck and prosperity—at the base of the main sanctum structure. The temple's ornate architecture, precise dimensions, intricately carved images and motifs, sanctums, and even the layout of the surrounding land are all infused with metaphysical significance and purpose.
