Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple

The Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple is a Hindu shrine in Seberang Jaya featuring a tall tower at its entrance and multiple smaller shrines within its grounds. The complex displays traditional architectural elements and decorative details that reflect South Indian temple design principles.

The shrine was founded over 100 years ago by Indian workers at a nearby estate in Perai. It relocated to its current site in 1996, where it has remained as an active place of worship since then.

The temple is dedicated to Karumariamman, a mother goddess revered by South Indian communities, and serves as a gathering place for worship and celebrations. You can observe traditional rituals and ceremonies that mark the rhythm of the local faithful's lives.

The temple is reachable from the Seberang Jaya Interchange on the North-South Expressway by following Jalan Todak to the grounds. The shrine is easily accessible on foot and welcomes visitors to walk through at their own pace.

The shrine decorates its entrances with woven mango leaves, a traditional South Indian practice symbolizing blessing and protection. This small yet meaningful detail is part of the visual language that marks the space as a living center of faith.
