SRI MAHAMARIAMMAN TEMPLE KL

Located in Chinatown and fronted by a marvellous gate tower is KL's principal hindu temple, the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, a large and ornate South Indian Hindu shrine dating to 1873. Fresh and vibrantly colourful, the temple houses a large silver chariot that is taken out and paraded to the Batu Caves during the Thaipusam festival in January or February each year.
