The Sri Mariamman Temple on South Bridge Road is the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore. Dating back to 1827, the brick bones of the present building were built around 1843. Later additions include various deities carved all over its walls, bell-decked doors and frescoes on the ceilings. Due to its architectural and historical significance, the temple was gazetted a National Monument in 1973.
