It's very clean. Beautiful temple.. very very peaceful and well designed. I respect it so much. But i don't respect the person in the reception. I'm wearing a long dress and he forced me to pay 2renggit for this orange kind of skirt. Because according to him women should do that.. he will get paid 20cents for holding your shoes too. I have no comment about the temple because it's gorgeous and worth visiting

A very beautiful temple! It looks like the ones in storybooks, with lots of brightly colored characters. I didn't like that you have to take off your shoes. It's OK for the inside of the temple itself, but it's not OK for the inner courtyard, where it's dusty just like on the sidewalk.

This Hindu temple is one of the most vibrant and visually stunning places I’ve ever visited. The moment you stand in front of the entrance, you’re struck by the colorful and detailed tower gate (gopuram) that rises high above the street. Covered in hundreds of intricately carved and painted deities, the facade is a masterpiece of South Indian Dravidian architecture. As you step inside, the atmosphere changes instantly—peaceful, spiritual, and filled with the scent of incense. The interior is equally beautiful, with shrines dedicated to various Hindu deities, including Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Durga. Every statue is decorated with fresh flowers and silk garments, and the attention to detail is absolutely incredible. What I found especially touching was how the space is open to both worshippers and curious visitors. People were taking photos respectfully, while others offered prayers or lit incense. It felt like a sacred place that also welcomed cultural exchange. If you’re in Kuala Lumpur, this temple is a must-visit—not only for its visual beauty, but for the sense of serenity and cultural richness it offers. It’s free to enter, but please dress modestly and be respectful of the rituals taking place. I truly appreciated the hospitality and the opportunity to learn more about Hindu culture through this beautiful site.

One of KL’s most stunning and culturally rich landmarks! Built in the 1870s, this is the oldest Hindu temple in the city, and it still plays an important role in the local Tamil community’s religious life. The temple’s highlight is its incredibly detailed gopuram (tower), covered in hundreds of brightly coloured deities and mythological figures — it’s impossible to walk past without stopping to look up. Inside, the temple is just as beautiful, with richly painted ceilings, polished floors, and sacred shrines surrounded by fresh flowers and oil lamps. It’s a peaceful space with a real sense of devotion and tradition. You might even catch a short prayer ceremony while visiting. Don’t forget to remove your shoes at the entrance and dress respectfully. A great place to pause, learn, and appreciate one of KL’s key religious sites right near the hustle and bustle of Chinatown.

Great temple to visit and reflect at. Colorful vivid, enjoy the moment. No ticket needed, shoe guarding fee 20cents. Tour guide avalaible.
