Sri Siva Durga Temple

One of the best ways to discover Singapore’s multi-religious and multi-racial society is to take time to explore the various temples, mosques and churches that are situated across our island. One notable temple to visit when you are in the Potong Pasir neighbourhood is Sri Siva Durga Temple, which is home to the deities Shiva and Durga. First erected on Lavender Street in 1906, and then on St. Georges Road in the 1960s, the sacred site finally found a permanent home in Potong Pasir in the 1980s. Not just a place of worship and prayer, this temple also holds various educational programmes and performing arts activities. Stop by to offer up prayers or simply to appreciate the stunning architecture, murals and sculptures, which were constructed by sculptors, architects and skilled workers from India.
