Little India

Little India, a place considered the center of the large Indian community in Singapore, is one of the most colourful, attractive, and culturally-significant place to visit in Singapore.

Despite Little India’s relatively small, and compact area — tourist attractions are close to each other, you can visit all the significant sights in one day — but the sights, sounds and smells ever present in the place represent India so well. While at Little India, don’t miss the intricately decorated temples — Temple of Thousand Lights, Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, and Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple — that give visitors a glimpse of the beliefs of Hinduism. Take the chance to shop at the famous Mustafa Center where you can find some of the most unique souvenir items from Singapore.
