Exploring Temples Sri Veerama Kaliamman Temple
Built in 1881, this temple is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Kali, the consort of Shiva. The streets usually very busy on holy days (Tuesdays and Fridays), when devotees are on their way to pray, worship and make requests to kali for blessings. This temple is closed between 12.30 pm and 4 pm everyday. Women who are undergoing the monthly cycle are considered "unclean" and are not allowed to enter temple grounds.
Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple
Built in 1855, this temple is gazetted as a national monument. Explore the serenity and beauty of the vast prayer courtyard. On the left, there is the chariot that ceremoniously carries the deities, while on the right, there is a thulasi plant – an fortunate symbol of faith and womanhood. Women encircle and pray to it. This temple is open from 6.30 am to noon and from 5 pm to 9 pm. Note that women who are undergoing the monthly cycle must not enter the temple.
Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple
Catch the stunning view of the huge seated Buddha statue surrounded by hundred of lightbulbs. Watch for the diorama of the life of Buddha at the base, while in a chamber at the back of the statue, you can also find the statue of the reclining Buddha. But please note that you are not allowed to take photo of the reclining Buddha. Have your fortune told on a wheel on the left of the prayer hall. This temple is open daily from 8.00 am to 4.45 pm.
Leong San Buddhist Temple
Built in the late 1800s, this temple is dedicated to Kwan Yin, the Taoist Goddess of Mercy. Witness the altar with the image of Confucius to which many parents bring their children to pray for cleverness and filial goodness. Stepping through the side doors of the prayer hall, you’ll find the ancestral hall at the back where you will see all the way to the ceiling, the inherited tablets with names of the dead.
