Sri Muneeswaran Hindu Temple


This is believed to be Southeast Asia's largest shrine to Sri Muneeswaran, completed in 1998 after the original hut-and-shrine – built by Indian railway workers in 1932 – became a victim of Queensway's widening. Interestingly, the building has no central pillars in the inner sanctum, allowing devotees a full view of rituals.
