Immerse into Singapore’s Little India in a 3-hour private tour

Covering an area around Queen Street, Chulia Street and Market Street, Little India in the city of George Town in Malaysia, is an ethnic Indian enclave. The oldest Hindu temple in Penang, Sri Mahamariamman Temple is located here. This area bears many similarities to market streets in Chennai, Mumbai or Delhi. Its location at the center of Penang Heritage Zone and nearby Penang's main finance center, Beach Street make it one of the most famous and notable shopping spots in Penang among locals and tourists. Little India is also famous for Malaysian Indian cuisine. It also serves as the main commercial and cultural activity of Penang Indians. The place becomes more lively during festival times like Deepavali, Christmas and Thaipusam.

Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign island city-state in maritime Southeast Asia. Although its history stretches back millennia, modern Singapore was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles as a trading post of the British Empire. In 1867, the colonies in East Asia were reorganised and Singapore came under the direct control of Britain as part of the Straits Settlements. During the Second World War, Singapore was occupied by Japan in 1942 but returned to British control as a separate crown colony following Japan's surrender in 1945. Singapore gained self-governance in 1959, and in 1963 became part of the new federation of Malaysia, alongside Malaya, North Borneo, and Sarawak. Ideological differences led to Singapore being expelled from the federation two years later, thereby becoming an independent country.

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is a Hindu temple located in the middle of Little India in the southern part of Singapore.
