Central Sikh Temple

The Central Sikh Temple is a multi-level prayer house in Bendemeer that accommodates religious services, daily worship, and community gatherings. The building contains dedicated prayer halls along with spaces designed for religious ceremonies and social functions.

The temple was founded in 1912 and moved several times before establishing its permanent location on Towner Road in 1986. These relocations reflect the growth and evolution of the Sikh community in Singapore over many decades.

This place serves as a spiritual and social hub for the Sikh community, drawing people together for shared prayers and celebrations throughout the year. You can observe how families gather here not only for worship but also for important life events and festivals.

Visitors should wear head coverings and remove their shoes before entering the prayer areas. It helps to arrive with awareness of these customs and dress appropriately out of respect.

The temple serves free vegetarian meals daily from its kitchen, a centuries-old practice that welcomes people regardless of their background or social status. This tradition of shared dining stands as one of the most visible expressions of Sikh values.
