Temples

Temples are the places of worship for a variety of religions m Singapore Hindu, Buddhist, Shentoist and Taoist. Many have survived intact for well over 100 years, and most celebrate colourful festivals at different times of the year.

Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple

A 15-metre high statue of Buddha, surrounded by a seemingly endless chain of lights, is the focal point of this simple but impressive building. At the base of the statue is a fresco depicting important events in Buddha's life. In a chamber at the back of the statue, you can also find the image of the reclining Buddha.

Please note that photo-taking of the reclining Buddha is not allowed. For more details on the temple, look out for the information cards available at the premise and the heritage marker at the entrance to the temple.
