Mariamman Temple, Hindu temple in Marabastad, South Africa
The Mariamman Temple features a central cella, an assembly hall, and a monumental entrance tower with seven kalasas following Dravidian architectural style.
Constructed between 1928 and 1938, this temple replaced an earlier wood-and-iron structure from 1914, marking the establishment of Hindu worship in Pretoria.
The temple includes dedicated inner shrines for deities Mariamman, Subrahmanya, and Ganesa, serving the Tamil community of Pretoria through religious ceremonies.
The temple welcomes visitors at 323 6th Street in Asiatic Bazaar, requiring appropriate dress code with covered shoulders and knee-length garments.
In 2011, specialized artisans restored damaged decorative moldings using original materials after the structure experienced lightning damage.
