We are in Little India, one of Singapore´s main tourist attractions and a must visit attraction when in Singapore. If you ask the question “What to See in Singapore” or “What are the top attractions in Singapore”, then Little India is definitely one of those top attractions well worth a visit. This is a walking tour through the streets of Singapore´s Little India, with limited commentary.
Our walk (with Maxi and Maro) begins at the Little India MRT Station where we make our way down Buffalo Road past a lovely selection of Indian shops, Indian Restaurants and other Indian businesses until we reach the end of the road where the Tekka Centre is located. From here we cross over Serangoon Road over to the Cambell Lane walking Street which is where the Little India Arcade is located. As you walk down the streets you see traditional Hindu items for sale, we just loved the beautifully made flower garlands used for Hindu worship (In India, worship of God is called Pooja). Our walk continues through little India with views of Dunlop Street, Serangoon Road again, Kerbau Road and Belilios Road where we stop to have a look at the Hindu Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, one of Singapore´s oldest temples built in 1881. The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, fierce embodiment of Shakti and the god Shiva’s wife, Parvati (wiki). The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is indeed one of Singapore´s top attractions in itself. After viewing the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple from various angles we have a quick peek down Roberts Lane, before making our way towards the Mustafa Department Store a 24 hour open massive department store. The Mustafa Centre is without doubt a must see attraction in Singapore´s Little India and we would also classify the Mustafa Centre as one of Singapore’s Top Attractions! Our tour ends as we make our way towards the Farrer Park MRT Station.
