Burmese Buddhist Temple, Theravada Buddhist temple in Novena, Singapore.

The temple features a three-tiered roof structure adorned with detailed carvings made from Burmese teak wood, showcasing traditional architectural elements.

Established in 1875 by U Thar Hnin at Kinta Road, the temple moved to its current location on Tai Gin Road in 1988 due to urban development.

The temple holds celebrations for Abhidhamma Day, marking Buddha's descent from Tavatimsa Heaven, and Thin Gyan, the Myanmar New Year water festival.

Regular activities include meditation sessions, Dharma classes, and Buddhist teachings led by resident monks throughout the week.

The temple houses a 3.3-meter-high marble Buddha statue, carved from a 10-tonne block found near Mandalay in 1918, transported to Singapore in 1921.
