Chinatown-Sri Mariamman Temple

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 20 January 2009 in Architecture.

I walked from one end of Pagoda street to the other.Sri Mariamman sits at the entrance of the street,I always am amazed at the worksmanship and presumably lots of patience in crafting all the idols into the building.Sri Mariamman is open to tourists.

You're right Ty - the workman ship and patience the people took to create these structures is truly amazing - great capture of their awesome work

It truly is wonderful! Singapore is very colourful and multicultural. I did the same walk when I visited Singapore couple of years ago.

Hello Babe,

It seems you are taking me on a tour of SG again....I miss SG!! Looking at all the photos here makes me think of SG fondly. I look forward to a holiday back there since it will no longer be home. How's your CNY preparation? I think CNY coincides with our Australia day...haha.

Hope all the family is well and you are feeling upbeat about the coming celebrations!
