Sri Ramar Temple, Hindu temple in Changi Village, Singapore
Sri Ramar Temple is a Hindu temple in Changi Village, in the northeastern part of Singapore, featuring a multi-tier entrance tower decorated with religious figures. The tower opens onto a central prayer hall and sanctuary, with several smaller shrines arranged around the grounds.
The temple was founded in 1946 by Ram Naidu on land provided by British military forces after World War II. It grew into the main spiritual gathering point for the 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 is open daily, with prayer sessions held in the morning, at midday, and in the evening. Visitors should wear modest clothing and be ready to remove their shoes before stepping into the inner areas.
Alongside its Hindu altars, the temple houses statues of Buddha and Guan Yin, making it one of the few places in Singapore where different faiths share the same space. A visitor can observe expressions of several spiritual traditions simply by walking through the grounds.
