Sri
Mariamman, the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore, is dedicated to the
rain Goddess Mariamman and Devi. The temple gate is covered
with oodles of brightly painted gods and goddesses, flanked by two large
sculptures of white sacred cows. The inside of the temple is equally impressive,
especially the painted ceilings. |

Pagar – On this shopping street, kids can see traditional
restored "shophouses," painted in pastel colors. Shop for kites and theater masks (they look like Darth Maul) or stop into a tea shop for
a snack. |
