The temple at Jalan Tun H.S. Lee is close to Chinatown.
Built in 1873, the temple is said to be the most ornate
and elaborate Hindu temple in the country.
The design and decorative features include intricate carvings
of Hindu deities, gold embellishments, precious stones and
hand-painted motifs. Exquisite Italian and Spanish tiles
provide further ornamentation.
A silver chariot housed within the premises featured prominently
in religious processions where the statue of the deity is
transported through the city streets.
