Things to do in Singapore, Singapore: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

Built in 1855 by Tamil labourers, the temple has a South Indian architectural style. The gopuram or tower, a common element in South Indian temple architecture, was built at a height so that it can be seen from a distance.

Located in the heart of Little India on Serangoon Road, Sri Veeramakaliamman is the most prominent and popular Hindu Temple. For me Little India is temples and food. I do not know if this is the oldest as some claim but I can assure you it was the most popular. We visited just after seeing Sri Srinivasa and the crowds here were vastly greater. Sri Srinivasa was extremely colorful with a very high Gopuram; however, the details at Sri Veeramakaliamman both inside and out were amazing. The thing that caught my eye here was this was the only Gopuram where the figures had gold features. When the sun hits it, the figures sparkle. The other part was the detail inside was much more exquisite and decorative. Sri Veeramakaliamman is to Hindu temples as Baroque/Rococo is to European churches. Its dripping in figures and symbols. I must confess that I really did not understand it all; however, for the cultural and enjoyment value, this is the best Hindu temple to visit and our favorite in Singapore
