Mahindarama Buddhist Temple, Theravada Buddhist temple in George Town, Malaysia
The temple features a main prayer hall with detailed carvings crafted by Sri Lankan artisans using materials imported directly from Sri Lanka.
Founded in 1918 by A. Pemaratana Maha Thera, the temple moved from its original Caunter Hall location to Jalan Kampar in the 1930s due to flooding issues.
Every year during Vesak Day, the temple becomes a central gathering place for celebrations marking the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha.
The temple welcomes visitors through its entrance on Jalan Kampar, accessible via Rapid Penang Bus routes 201, 202, 203, and 204.
In 2001, Mahindarama received sacred Buddha relics, making it the first temple in Malaysia to house such religious artifacts.
