Incredible!!! Wow we were lost for words visiting this temple! So incredibly beautiful! Shoes are kept safe for 0.2 cents at the entrance. Each model and statue is beautifully created and colourful. So much to see and learn about the Hindu religion. Right in the heart of Chinatown and so unexpected until you walk in!

This was one of the stops in Central Market area and the first Indian Temple visit for this trip in KL. It actually was quieter inside than I expected. They were very strict with ensuring no shoes were worn inside or even carried in the hands or inside a bag. A bunch of carts were in front selling various combinations of offerings for the temple. Once inside we walked through two floors. The first floor was very bright with colorful tiles, gold trims used throughout. On the second floor, the windows gave views of the statues mounted on the rooftop. We spent about 15 minutes inside.

Built in 1873 in South Indian style, Sri Maha Mariamman Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in KL. The temple's most outstanding feature is the impressive 5-tiered gopuram (tower). It is the tallest structure in the temple. The dramatic 22.9 m (75 ft) high pyramid-shaped gate tower is decorated with depictions of Hindu gods sculpted by artisans from southern India.

The Temple dates to 1873 with the present structure constructed in 1968. I was informed that it is the oldest and wealthiest Hindu Temple in KL. The entrance is a remarkable structure, very similar to those sighted in Sri Lanka and Singapore, a highly decorated Gopuran tower of five tiers and height of 75 feet featuring Hindu deities. I made a donation and paid the pittance for my sandals to be stored and wandered inside to be met with more buildings, all ornate and decorated with many murals and frescoes. The Main Prayer and adjacent shrines were busy with worshippers. Interesting temple and worth visiting to gain a better understanding of other faiths.

This temple is in the center of Kuala Lumpur. It's a colorful temple and has beautiful Hindu architecture. There are some things to keep in mind when comes here: - Wear polite clothes, do not wear clothes that expose too much of your arms, shoulders or shorts. - Take off your shoes when you enter the temple, your shoes is kept in the small office in front of the temple.
