Sri Sithi Vinayagar Temple

Sri Sithi Vinayagar Temple, Hindu temple in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

Sri Sithi Vinayagar Temple is a Hindu temple in Petaling Jaya featuring traditional Dravidian architecture with intricate stone carvings and a multi-tiered gopuram structure rising above the main entrance. The complex also includes a two-story multi-purpose hall used for community gatherings and events.

The Petaling Jaya Hindu Association was registered in 1959 to manage a temple for the growing Hindu population of the new suburb. The foundation stone was laid on 8 July 1962 by Singapore philanthropist P. Govindasamy Pillai, and the first Maha Kumbabishegam consecrated the temple on 8 November 1964. A second consecration followed on 4 September 1972 after the gopuram was rebuilt with added sculpture.

The temple is also called the PJ Pillaiyar Temple, from the Tamil word Pillaiyar, meaning "noble child", a common Tamil name for Ganesha. It is run by the Petaling Jaya Hindu Association, registered in 1959 to manage worship for the town's Hindus.

The temple stands along Jalan Selangor, and the multi-purpose wedding hall built in 1985–1986 adjoins the shrines; the priest's quarters were added at the rear in 1982. Shoes are removed before entering shrine areas, and modest dress is expected. The 1995 renovation air-conditioned the mandapam, so the hall is sheltered from the heat.

Sixteen sculptors from India, supervised by a qualified sthapathy, carved the temple's Rajagopuram and twin bell towers before the 1994 consecration. The Tamil name Pillaiyar means "noble child", a common Tamil name for Ganesha.
