If you are coming here around November, you should try to see The Deepavali Street parade. This year it was held on November 4.
Although I must warn you, there are lots of people coming to this event so better be there really early to be able to be standing at the front of the barricade for a good view of the performances. Also try to eat dinner before you stand there.

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.

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.

One of Singapore's most fascinating cultural hubs, Little India's spice-scented shops gleam with silverware, brassware, gold jewellery, silk sari, bargain electronics and culinary delights. During a religious festival, gaily-dressed devotees dance in spiritual fervour.

This is a beautiful Arcade. For sale here you'll find anything Indian. From sari's and snacks to Bollywood films and mango lassie's. There is also a lot of art and craft available. You can spend quite some time here to take in everything of this colourful place.

With an unpronouncable name this is the most beautiful temple in Little India. The temple is dedicated to Kali a bloodthirsty consort of Shiva. The temple was built in 1881. You can see Kali ripping out the guts of her victims. How nice!

I love Indian food, is that enough reason to head down to Little India in Singapore? Yes, for me it was! But there's lots more there! There's some pretty good tailors down there, offering high quality custom made suits for both men and women. There's also a lot of markets and souvenirshops, and some pretty good hawkers offering excellent curries! Nice place to wander around, shop for souvenirs and perhaps a light meal?
