Sri Sakthi Vinayagar Temple

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:55:06

The original shrine for Lord Vinayagar (the remover of obstacles) in Brickfields was a squatter shack on Jln Sultan Abdul Samad. Such was the humble start of many temples in this immigrant community. It's still rather simple (plans at the back show a much larger one in the works) but there is a tender devotional atmosphere to the place, and one statue of Lord Vinayagar inside is made of bananas and brown sugar.

The current temple (in essence an open colonnaded, or hypostyle, gallery) on Jln Berhala is reached via a short staircase from streetside.
