The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Kallang, Singapore

August 12, 2021 Karren Gelb

The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

Sri Vadapathira Kaliamman Temple

Reviewed By ponnuswamy - Mumbai, India

Its a great tamil temple with all the images on walls and ceiling describing the best Hindu mythological stories. The temple is well maintained and has a great vibe. Lord shiva and marriamman are the presiding deities. The day I visited the joy alukas guys had put in complimentary water bottles and it helped on a hot day.

Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple

Reviewed By GroverR - Pensacola, United States

One of the great things about Singapore is its rich and diverse religious community. This is one of 3 Hindu temples we visited. As a Christian, I confess I don't know much about the Hindu faith, but I do think as a religious person it is easy to appreciate the beauty of the temple and understand some of the culture in the art. With that said, this temple had the tallest entrance of statues of any we saw. It also was the most richly painted and its deep blue entrance with red and white stripped walls distinguished it. The inside was very similar to the Hindu temple in Chinatown, including layout and open design. The colors here were so vibrant and the juxtaposition of the temple with surrounding towers was amazing. I can not say I understood most of what I saw but I can say I was impressed by the art and the vibrancy of the colors.

Hajjah Fatimah Mosque

Perhaps the most unusual feature you’ll notice here is a distinctive minaret designed by an unidentified European architect. The tower leans about six degrees off centre – making this one of the most unique sights in Singapore.

Reviewed By jeanettem190 - Cairns, Australia

This is a simple and dignified mosque, centrally located in Kampong Glam. The style is called Middle Eastern - Victorian and it was built in 1846. A prominent Singaporean lady, Hajjah Fatimah lived here and left the land in her Will for a mosque to be built. The very Victorian-looking minaret was built on sandy soil & has been tilting ever since. Currently it's about 6 degrees off. The interior has a nice space under the dome which glows greenly; simple but effective. There's a quiet little park or square just in front of the mosque, so if you're walking, you won't see the mosque as you approach, but keep going; it's definitely at 4001 Beach Rd! Before or after your visit the little park / square has benches where you can catch your breath.

Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple

One of the most prominent and widely visited Buddhist temples in Singapore, The Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple is often referred to as the Temple of 1,000 Lights.

Reviewed By GroverR - Pensacola, United States

One of the great things about Singapore is the great variety and buildings of its major religions. While Little India has great Hindu temples, it also has a great Buddha temple. This Buddhist temple was vastly different than the Chinese ones we saw in Chinatown as this was a Thai Temple. In the center is a giant statue to the Buddha surrounded by 1,000 lights and under it is a depiction in statues of Buddha's life. However, the most interesting part of the visit is the reclining Buddha inside the giant statue that you can not take pictures of. It is a tight fit and only a couple of people can see at one time. Anyways we really enjoyed talking with the main caretaker. He also showed us the Buddha's footprint, a beautiful mother of pearl piece shaped as a footprint and dedicated to the life of the Buddha. Overall, great experience and very glad we found this.
