    Arrogant counter staff. I have called before going to the temple and they said I can pour milk onto the shivling by myself. However, today on 01/08 between 7.06 pm-7.15 pm. After purchasing the milk, I asked the staff whether can I get a Kudam to fill up n pour for shivling. He was super arrogant now cannot pour because it is crowded. N I was like where is there crowd? He was like for this I will have to answer in a different threatening me and also damn arrogant. U already purchase the milk and u telling me now. Please don’t hire this kind of staff. It was the the staff beside the person beside the person handling my reciept and transaction. I was looking for a proper email to email this to the management but without a proper email address i had to address it on a google review. I hope the management can reach out to me to explain the situation to me. I wish I can give zero stars

    Sri Manmatha Karuneshvarar Temple (Tamil: ஸ்ரீ மன்மத காருணீஸ்வரர் கோவில்) or Sivan Temple is a Hindu temple for Sri Manmatha Karuneshvarar Sivan or Shiva as the presiding deity located on Kallang Road in Singapore. The temple was established on 1 January 1888 on a lease from the Governor of the Straits Settlements for the Tamil community as a place of worship, this temple is known to its devotees as the Kallang Gasworks Sivan Temple. It was established soon after the Municipal Gasworks of depot was set up in Kallang Road. The large number of Hindu employees started a shrine and installed the main deity to seek its protection as well as to sustain their Hindu traditions and values. The temple is serene and celebrates all Indian Saivaite festivals in a grand scale. Even though the Indian origin population around the temple is scarce, there is a strong following in the temple. Lord Siva is the destroyer while his consort, Parvati, is looked upon as an almighty Mother figure that pleads to Lord Siva on the behalf of mankind and creatures. However, even though he represents destruction, Lord Siva is viewed as a positive force or even the Destroyer of Evil, since creation follows destruction. Lord Siva has five jobs creator, preserver, destroyer, hiding the sins and blessing.

    Rarely come to this temple but went there a few times and it’s very beautiful. There is carpark at the next lane. Went I went there, there wasn’t cashless payment. They do sell $10 garlands as well. It’s a small and clean temple! Very peaceful. The Perumal deity is very pretty as well.

    Peaceful and well-kept. Beautiful Sivalingams. Early mornings are great. Accessible parallel parking by the temple. Wheelchair access to the temple is by the ramp on the side where the parking lots are. One of those temples that has retained the feel' of ancient temples without the intrusion of modern architecture. History of the temple dates back to 1900. Kallang Gasworks Sivan Temple is a must go.

    Love the feel in the temple but don’t trust the timings. Temple hours are 6am-12pm and then 6pm-9pm. The Sannidhis are closed between the hours. I had Called up one day about doing neelanajam Puja and was told o could do it anytime; but really what the person meant was when during the temple hours morning or evening. Gotta read between the lines to what those who answer questions on the phone and ask again if they sound distracted because they are managing payments live while Talking on the phone.

  • 5/5 Sampath M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Shiva temple especially to those who love lord Shiva. People working there are very good and friendly except the management. There is no ego can be found from Archagars. Whatever they do is from their heart. Entirely different from those temples managed by HEB who focus only on money. I never see the way they do Prathosham event. They make divoties to read Thiruvaasagam when they carry around Father Shiva and Mother Paarvathi . This is very special in my view. At this temple we can see mainly Lord Shiva, Ganesh, Murugan, Paarvathi Amma, Durgai Amma, Prumaal, etc... Of course, whenever I went to this temple including my 1st visit, I never come out with empty stomach. Most of the time there is always have food.

    Nice place of worship. Only other temple to be standing from its original architecture and cemented statues. Caution: rude and demeaning staff who'll attend to you. Minus that, it is a perfect place to reconnaissance the past.
