Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple

Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple, Hindu temple in Seberang Jaya, Malaysia

The Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple in Seberang Jaya has Malaysia's tallest rajagopuram, a 72-foot (22 m) tower whose entrance measures 21 feet high and 11 feet wide. The South Indian-style complex also contains smaller shrines and a prayer hall.

The temple began over a century ago as an estate temple serving workers of the Paduma Estate in Perai. In the 1970s that land became the township of Seberang Jaya and two temples there were removed; the Penang State Government then granted land for a new temple. Construction started in 1996, and on 16 February 1997 Dato Seri S. Samy Velu, Minister of Works, laid the foundation stone. The temple was completed for RM2.3 million.

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 rajagopuram rises 72 feet (22 m), the tallest in Malaysia, and its entrance measures 21 ft high by 11 ft wide, also the largest in the country. The temple is also noted for interfaith harmony with other religious communities in the area.
