►History of "Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple":-
Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is a Hindu temple located in the middle of Little India in the southern part of Singapore.
The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, fierce embodiment of Shakti and the god Shiva's wife, Parvati.
The temple was originally known in Tamil as the Soonambu Kambam Kovil or the “temple at the village of lime” because of lime kilns found in the area. It was believed that Tamil workers who worked the lime pits at Kampong Kapor erected a shrine dedicated to the Veeramakaliamman on this site as early as 1855. A temple was then built by Bengali labourers in 1881.
The building of the temple is constructed in south Indian style and is regarded as one of the oldest temples of Singapore.
And with its colourful and intricate statues and detailing, the temple remains one of the most spectacular places of worship in Singapore.
Opening hours:- Morning: 8.00 am to 12.30 pm
