Little India stretches from Rochor Canal to Lavendar Street.
While early Indians resided in Chulia Street near Chinatown,
most of them resettled to the present Little India because
of the introduction of cattle rearing on the fertile land
of Rochor River. Immigrants from Madras, Calcutta and Malaya
joined them soon after. Today, Little India is the emotional
and commercial center of the local Indian community. The
best time to visit Little India is early morning when you
can enjoy the spicy aromas, the colorful traditions, the
strains of sitar music and colorful garlands being made.
Don't miss the vibrant Indian-inspired murals painted by
Singaporean youths next to Sri Veeramakalimman Temple. And
not forgetting the numerous eateries, where you can eat
all you want for under S$5.
