Sri Ramar Temple is a Hindu place of worship in Changi Village featuring a distinctive multi-tier entrance gateway adorned with mythological figures and religious symbols. The gateway leads inward to a central devotional hall and sanctuary, with additional Hindu shrines positioned throughout the grounds.
After World War II, Ram Naidu established this temple in 1946 on land provided by British military forces. The sanctuary became an important center for the growing Hindu community in eastern Singapore.
The temple serves as a gathering place for Hindu celebrations like Ramar Navami and Navaratri, drawing worshippers from across eastern Singapore. These festivals bring the community together and shape the spiritual rhythm of the area.
The temple welcomes visitors daily with prayer times throughout the morning, noon, and evening. Guests should dress modestly and respectfully, and be prepared to remove their shoes before entering the inner sanctums.
The temple houses statues of Buddha and Guan Yin alongside its Hindu altars, reflecting how it welcomes different spiritual traditions. This inclusive approach makes it a place where people from varied faith backgrounds can come together peacefully.
