Shri Kali Temple, Burma, Hindu temple in Little India, Yangon, Myanmar.

The temple features a gopuram tower covered with sculptures and carvings depicting detailed scenes from Hindu mythology and religious figures.

Tamil immigrants constructed the Shri Kali Temple at 295 Konzedan Street in 1871, during a period when the Indian population in Rangoon increased from 15,000 to 70,000.

The temple functions as a center for Hindu worship, where devotees gather daily to perform rituals and present offerings to the richly adorned idol of Goddess Kali.

Visitors need to remove their shoes before entering the temple grounds, and photography restrictions apply in specific areas of the religious complex.

The temple roof displays numerous carved Hindu deities, creating a distinctive architectural element that stands out in downtown Yangon's religious landscape.
