Little India, Historic commercial district in Rochor, Singapore.

Streets lined with traditional storefronts display Indian textiles, spices, jewelry stores, and restaurants serving regional dishes from various Indian states.

The district formed in 1819 when Tamil immigrants settled east of the Singapore River, establishing trade routes and cultural connections with their homeland.

The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, constructed in 1881, stands as a central religious landmark with intricate sculptures depicting Hindu deities and ceremonies.

The Little India MRT station connects visitors to the district, while the Tekka Centre provides fresh produce, traditional clothing, and food courts.

The Mustafa Centre operates 24 hours daily, offering four floors of merchandise ranging from electronics to fresh food and traditional Indian remedies.
