Sri Layan Sithi
Vinayagar temple built in 1925 is a mid-sized temple compared to other temples in
Singapore as is a well maintained and well-run by the Chettiars' Temple Society. This temple is
very active with a constant flow of devotees. This temple’s location also
renders it possible for devotees to pray in the morning before work or after
offices as its located near a commercial area. This temple is open between
7.30am – 12pm and again at 5.30pm – 8.30pm in the evening.
As the name suggests
the main deity for this temple is Vinayagar (Elephant god) and the temple is
very much focussed on this diety solely. This temple therefore hosts the annual
Vinayagar Chaturthi, which is a festival commemorating the main deity’s birthday.
You can catch this

is shown second in the video which is a series where we visit temples in
