Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Hindu temple in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The temple features a five-tiered gopuram reaching 77 meters in height, decorated with sculptures depicting scenes from Hindu mythology throughout its walls.
Founded in 1873 by K. Thamboosamy Pillai as a private shrine, the temple transformed into a public place of worship during the late 1920s.
The temple serves as the primary center for Hindu religious activities in Kuala Lumpur, with daily ceremonies and major celebrations throughout the year.
Located on Jalan Tun H.S. Lee Road, the temple maintains specific dress requirements, including long sleeves for men and saris for women visitors.
A 350-kilogram silver chariot, introduced in 1983, transports sacred statues through Kuala Lumpur during the annual Thaipusam festival celebrations.
