Sri Mahamariamman Temple

Sri Mahamariamman Temple, located on Kuala Lumpur's High Street, is Malaysia's richest and oldest Hindu temple. The temple has a unique design that mixes Italian and Spanish tiles, precious stones, and gold, making it one of Malaysia's most magnificently architectured historical buildings.

The Mariamman Temple, which has a Raja Gopuram Tower at the entrance, is magnificently made and designed in Dravidian style. It is a symbol of God's divine power and the positivism of his place of worship, particularly for Tamils who regard Goddess Mariamman as a guardian in a foreign nation. The Sri Mahamariamman Temple attracts a large throng, notably during the Diwali and Thaipusam holidays, when a long procession to the Batu Caves bearing milk containers to present to Lord Muruga takes place.

The temple's most remarkable characteristic is its shape, which resembles that of a human body, with the head pointing west and the feet pointing east. The main prayer hall is likewise a focal area, with murals and frescoes. If you are a photographer, you may spend an entire day photographing Sri Mahamariamman Temple because of its exquisite construction.
