Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Hindu temple in Little India, Singapore.

The temple features a grand entrance tower decorated with detailed sculptures of Hindu deities, leading to the central shrine housing goddess Kali statues.

Built in 1881 by Bengali and Tamil laborers, the temple served as a shelter for local residents during World War II air raids.

The temple holds religious ceremonies throughout the year, with celebrations of Navaratri, Thaipusam, and Deepavali drawing large gatherings of devotees.

The temple opens daily for visitors except between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, and requires removal of shoes before entering the main prayer halls.

The central shrine displays two contrasting forms of goddess Kali: a fierce representation with skull garlands and a gentler depiction showing maternal care.

Inception: 1881
