Plaster Moulding of a Lion protecting Sri Mariamman Temple on Pagoda Street Singapore

---

The Sri Mariamman Temple is Singapore's oldest Hindu temple, and was founded in 1827 by Naraina Pillai, eight years after the British East India Company established a trading settlement in Singapore. Although Pagoda Street is in Chinatown, informally, Chinatown residents referred to Pagoda Street in Chinese as "back of the Indian place of worship."
