Sri Thendayuthapani Temple

The Sri Thendayuthapani Temple, better known as the Chettiars' Temple, is one of Singapore Hindu community's most important monuments. The temple was built by the Chettiars (Indian moneylenders) at Tank Road in 1859 and managed by the Chettiars' Temple Society. The temple was reconstructed in 1983 and renovated in 2022. The temple was gazetted as a National monument of Singapore on 20 October 2014. Worship The Hindu temple is dedicated to Muruga. On the eve of Thaipusam, the statue of Murugan is paraded from the temple through the city to Sri Layan Sithi Vinayagar Temple, another Chettiar temple located at Keong Saik Road in Chinatown, and then back to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple. On Thaipsuam, devotees will walk from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road, with their bodies pierced by hooks, spears and spiked steel structures called kavadi, or carry paal kudams (milk pots) on their heads, to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple as an act of penance in gratitude to Lord Murugan for granting their prayers of supplication. History In 1859, the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple was constructed at Tank Road for worship for the Hindu deity, Lord Muruga, by the Chettiar community in Singapore. In the late 1970s, it was decided to reconstruct the temple at a cost of S$3.3 million which is paid by the Chettiar community. The reconstruction was done by 1983 and was consecrated on 24 November 1983. In 2022, the temple was renovated, including reconstructing the Meenakshi Amman sanctum, replacement of temple floors and repainting the sanctum walls and columns, at a cost of about $1 million.

Храм играет важную роль в жизни приверженцев шиваизма в Сингапуре. Здесь заканчивается путь процессии, начинающейся у храма Шри Шриниваса Перумал во время ежегодного празднества Тайпусам. Современное здание храма, посвящённое богу Шиве, было построено в 1984 году на месте старой постройки 1859 года. Внутренний интерьер храма примечателен 48 стеклянными панелями с выгравированными на них изображениями божеств, изготовленными в числе прочих деталей декора ремесленниками из Южной Индии. Помещение храма состоит из «мандапам» и «антарала», через которые проходит верующий при совершении обрядов. «Антарала» ведёт к «гарббагрбу», куда может входить лишь священник. Вход в храм венчает пятиярусный гопурам. Главное храмовое божество — Муруган, показанный в шести своих священных обителях. Ссылки Сайт храма Четтьяр (англ.)

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple (Tamil: ஸ்ரீ வீரமாகாளியம்மன் கோவில்; Chinese: 维拉马卡拉曼庙), also known earlier as Soonambu Kambam Kovil, is a Hindu temple located in the middle of Little India in the southern part of Singapore. The temple started as a shrine dedicated to the Hindu goddesses Kali and Parvati in 1855 before a temple was built by Bengali labourers in 1881. Architecture Images of Kali within the temple show her wearing a garland of skulls and ripping out the insides of demons, and Parvati sharing a peaceful family moments with her sons Ganesha and Murugan. The building is constructed in the style of South Indian Tamil temples common in Tamil Nadu as opposed to the style of Northeastern Indian Kali temples in Bengal, where Her worship is extremely widespread but the style of temple construction differs considerably. History During the Japanese occupation of Singapore (1942–1945), the temple served as a refuge, sheltering over 20 vagrants nightly and providing them with food during Japanese air raids. Controversy In 2018, the Charities Commissioner has barred the temple's chairman Sivakadacham, former chairman R Selvaraju, and secretary Ratha Krishnan Selvakumar from their posts, after the three, who were cheque signatories and approvers for payments, issued more than $1.5 million in uncrossed cheques. Of these, 45 cheques – totalling more than $227,000 – were not issued to the names of the intended recipients of the proceeds. The inquiry also revealed that Ratha had obtained loans of $350,000 without the management committee's approval and with no written loan agreements with the lenders. Cash loans and disbursements of proceeds from the loans were also not properly accounted for in the temple's records. References External links Official site Uniquely Singapore website
