quarters, but sprang from a community that gravitated here.
To see the crowds, shops and temples it is hard to believe that ranchers
raised cattle in this part of town in the early days.
Walked up Serangoon Road, stopping here and there to look at the groceries,
ceremonial items and colorful fabrics and jewelry sold here.
Went to Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, constructed for the worship of Kali, a
divine mother figure. This temple was very busy, with worshippers coming to
pray and make their offerings.
Headed on up the road to Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple built for the worship
of Vishnu, with its impressive figurines decorating the rooflines of the
temple. This temple is the starting point Thaipusam and Thimithi Hindu
Thanksgiving. Festivals.
If it is possible, it was even hotter today and a few raindrops were
starting to come down; so since we had an early all-aboard time, I headed
back to the ship to cool down and start going through all the photos I had
taken during my adventure her in Singapore.
