 Ganesha, protecting us
all by trisanna
It's really worth it to spend a few hours here. Looking at the stunning saris and jewerly. You have to see all the lovely bangles.
Walking around and taking it all in. There is some great food. You have to try the masala dosai (rice floor crepe with potato mixture inside), thali(rice dish with cups filled with vegetables), idlys(sweet-sour muffin looking things -that you dip into curry), channa batura( large puffed up bread-very thin and light with chickpeas). Very good and healthy.
Have some masala tea and some barfi ( a sweet that is like a very sugary fudge). Comes in all sorts of flavors.
Serangoon road -closest to the MRT or Bukit TImah Road-is mostly a Hindu area, south indian and vegetarian restaurants.
Further down, you get to the Muslim influence. Many food stalls will have tandoori meats, chicken briyani (roasted chicken with rice), murtobak (big pancake/crepe thing with chopped onion, egg and meat-either lamb, mutton or chicken. For shopping must head to Mustafa -a Singaporean institution. Leave a Comment Directions: MRT Little India 20 minute walk from MRT Dhoby Gaut

 Little India, Singapore by SkylinkLeave a Comment Directions: Near central Singapore

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is one of the most popular Hindu temples in Singapore, probably due to its location in the middle of Little India in the southern part of Singapore. The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Kali. Kali has always been popular in Bengal, the birthplace of the labourers who built this temple in 1881. Images of Kali within the temple show her wearing a garland of skulls and ripping out the insides of her victims, and Kali sharing more peaceful family moments with her sons Ganesh, and Murugan.

I was lucky enough to visit in September which coincided with the Deepavali Festival in Little India and what a memory that holds. The streets were adorned with bright lights in the shape of peacocks. Market places were set up everywhere and the festivities went on into the late hours of the night. The only drawback was trying to catch a taxi back to the hotel, but standing in the taxi rank made for great conversation with the locals. Directions: Near central Singapore

Located along Serangoon Rd. is the heartland of the Indian community. Walking along the streets of Little India lets you see a temple, shophouses, shopping malls and restaurants. Passing by the rows of restaurants here lets you smell the strong scent of curry. If you're not used to it, hhmmm, makes you a bit sick.
On Sundays, you'll see that the families of and workers from the Indian sub-continent are gathered here, hanging around, doing some shopping and eating. Directions: Near central Singapore

 Little India by kentishgirl
You could actually be in India, and not notice the difference! Its the closest I got to India anyway!
The Deepvali festival was on when I was here, and we were told that tons of people come to visit relatives from India, Sri Lanka etc at this time of year.
There are some great temples here, brilliant restaurants and shops selling authentic Indian goods, and obviously during Deepvali the lights were fantastic.* Leave a Comment Directions: Near central Singapore

 Little India main street by stmlnyc
The main street is a short walk from the Little India MRT stop. It gets quite busy and hectic at night, so for a quieter stroll, try going before noon.
The different groups in Singapore seem to
get along (same as in Malaysia) at least that is what the government wants to portray with happy ads and annoucements in the different languages. Leave a Comment

First attraction is the place itself.
I did not feel little India as a hot spot for tourism attraction, so, it's a colorful and attractive place to visit, with a different identity.
I had good time here. More quiet than the city centre, architecture and peoples are different, less stressed in my view.
Just strolling in the streets, looking the nice sari and dress, the houses and peoples watching was very pleasant.
Some massage parlors also (Thai - I didn't try) Directions: Near central Singapore
