Hindu Gods and Goddesses, including a priceless
statue of Lord Subramaniam - the much respected

flock the temple grounds. Prayers are usually
conducted by the temple priests in the early morning
and visitors may observe these prayer sessions taking
place.
Please take your shoes off when entering a place of
worship. Opening hours: 8.00 am - 12.00 noon and
