This beautiful temple is in a side road. Worth a trip. Visitors are welcome. You take off you shoes and wash your feet at an area surrounded by seats and shoe boxes to the right of the entrance - foot washing on a hot day very welcome and refreshing.
The gold tower gateway, a feature of such temples is eye catching and colourful.
Here's the history of the temple.
All the statues of the Gods are entrancing. These two are my favourites.
Travelling there
The temple is on the Changi airport side of the island.
How to get there? By public transport, MRT (underground train) to Aljunied which is stop EW9, 9th stop on the East West line which splits to end at Changi airport or Pasir Ris (EW1). From Aljunied take a number 40 bus. On your return the number 40 bus stops on the opposite side of the road to the MRT station. If you can't face climbing all the steps up to the overhead bridge, there's a lift (elevator) up and down on both sides of the bridge.
