There is an Indian temple in Kuala Lumpur that has stood in the city for over a hundred years!

This is my second time entering this Indian temple in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, and it is the first time I learned that the locals call it 'Mariamman Temple', which is also the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur. Located near Petaling Street, it, along with the surrounding Sin Sze Si Ya Temple and Guandi Temple, made me feel the wonderful charm of Kuala Lumpur's diverse and harmonious religious culture. At first sight of this temple, I was shocked by the five-story temple tower above the temple gate, with more than 200 three-dimensional sculptures of deities with different expressions and lifelike. Inside, there are even more colorful and story-rich sculptures worth careful appreciation. It is said that on the important Indian festival 'Thaipusam', from the early morning, believers will start from this Indian temple and parade all the way to another holy place in Kuala Lumpur, 'Batu Caves', the scene is spectacular.
