About this activity
Join us on this small group walking tour (limited to 6 guests) to uncover these must-see gems of Little India:
• Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple: Little India's main Hindu temple, dedicated to the Goddess Kali, is hugely popular and bustling with Hindu worshipers and visitors alike. Come listen to the colourful stories behind the temple's deities, and learn about fascinating Hindu worship practices
• Campbell Lane & Little India Arcade: Explore this charming cluster of shops offering specialty products for the Indian community such as garlands, bangles, incense, henna and sweets. Let our guide take you through some highlights and you’ll gain insights into Indian customs and traditions
• Tekka Centre: Tekka Centre is a local institution and a real slice of Singapore life. One floor is a riot of colour from hundreds of Indian sarees and suits on display. On another floor is Tekka's bustling wet market, Singapore's largest, with an amazing variety of fresh produce on offer.
During our walk, we’ll explore some of the historic streets of Little India and hear about how the Indian community was not actually supposed to settle here, under Raffles’ town plan. What made them leave their originally designated area to come to Little India? Hint: The street names in the area give us some clues.
The tour is designed to end at lunch time so it’ll be perfect timing for you to enjoy the specialities of the area – our guide will provide some suggestions.
