Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple is the first Hindu Temple to be built in Singapore in this new millennium, with modern amenities to meet the Hindu community's growing social, spiritual and educational needs. The temple building is filled with all the basic symbolism of ancient Hindu temple architecture in South India. The pooja is performed with divine powers to make the holy at the sacred shrines. There are 18 different types of rituals that are committed to making the idols look lovely. Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple conducts language classes in Tamil, Mandarin, and Malay and religious classes in Buddhism and Hinduism. Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple set a new standard in Hindu temple development in June 2004 with the conduct of the Sangustaapanam Ceremony, where 1008 sangus, a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi and believed to bring luck and prosperity, were placed ceremoniously in the base of the main sanctum structure by devotees.
