  • Visit Little India during Deepavali Night!

    Little India at Serangoon Road is decorated with colorful arches of fairly lights, garlands and Hindu deities. It's a festival of lights or what the Hindus celebrate as Deepavali. Every Hindu home is brightly lit and decorated for the occasion.

    Be awed by the fairly lights. Don that saree and nose studs. Smell the garlands and Indian spices. Hear those sitar and traditional Hindu music blazing. Eat the sweet meats. Try to walk your way to the colorful temples as many Hindus flocked there to pray.

    This Hindu thanksgiving festival is held between January and February every year, for the date go to http://www.sgcheongster.com to find out. It is interesting to watch as devotees enter a trance and have their bodies pierced with metal hooks or spikes. They make their way to the Chettiar Temple in Tank Road, together with crowds of onlookers and supporters. To catch a piece of action, you need to be at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple at dawn.

  • Well, the name says it all... a tiny part of India in tiny modern Singapore. There's a MRT to this place "Liitle India" station, and a brisk 5 minutes away will bring you to a distinct India flavored Singapore. Lots of good food, sights and shopping here, a blend of old shophouses and modern malls. Sunday is a jam packed day in this place, where all foreign workers and local Indians congregate in a happy get-together. Watch you wallets though, pickpockets may thrive when the crowd is large.

    Little India: Sri Veerama Kali Amman Temple

  • Sri Veerama Kali Amman Temple - Singapore
    Sri Veerama Kali Amman
    Temple
    by Blatherwick
    This temple was established between 1855 and 1860. The Sri Veerama Kali Amman Temple is devoted to the goddess Kali, one of the most popular Hindu manifestations of the Great Goddess. Kali is said to grant material desires to those who make blood sacrifices in her name.

    The temple was originally known as 'the temple at the village of the lime' because of the many lime kilns in the area. The main shrine of the temple holds a jet black statue of Kali, along with her sons Ganesha and Murugan. Also be sure to look up onto the roof of the building, where hundreds of the different manifestations of Kali can be seen.

    To me, it is areas like this that give Singapore its heart and soul. The modern buildings, in my opinion, are quite soulless.
    Just walk around taking in the sights, sounds and smells of another culture.

  • A trip here is worth every smell. All around you can smell the different spices and ingrients used in the local cusine, something which you only find in such a district. The colours of the different people is also amazing. While i was here i got a henna tatoo painted on my arm, which cost me around 15 S$...

    The market is also an ideal place to buy all sorts of items...many clothes are very cheap, especially if you get a good bargin.
