Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, Singapore

Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple or Sri Perumal Temple is one of the oldest temples in Singapore. It was built by the early Indian settlers who were of Tamil Speaking. It is located in Little India within the planning area of Kallang along Serangoon Road, where its tall Gopuram (tower) shows the different incarnations of Lord Vishnu. This large complex, dedicated to Vishnu, dates from 1855, but the 20-metres-tall Gopuram was only built in 1966 at a cost of S$300,000. The temple's five-tier Gopuram was a donation from P. Govindasamy Pillai, one of the earliest Indian migrants to Singapore. In 1978, the temple was gazetted as a National monument of Singapore.[2]
