Nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown, Sri Maha Mariamman Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in the city, dating back to 1873. Its striking gopuram (towering entrance) adorned with colorful sculptures of Hindu deities is a must-see for culture and history lovers.
The temple is conveniently located just a short walk from Pasar Seni MRT/LRT Station, making it easy to include in your KL itinerary. Open daily from 6:00am to 8:30pm, visitors are welcome to admire the architecture, learn about Hindu traditions, and experience the peaceful atmosphere.
Do remember to dress modestly, and you’ll be asked to remove your shoes before entering the prayer hall. Whether you’re exploring Chinatown or on a cultural trail through KL, this temple offers a beautiful glimpse into Malaysia’s rich heritage.
