Important: you are not allowed to enter wearing shoes, so my advice is to bring some socks with you in the purse so you won’t have to walk there barefoot - because honestly is not the cleanest floor you could walk on. My socks were trashed after visiting it.
The temple is very beautiful and colorful. If you have very short pants/skirt there is a nice person there who guides you to some skirts that you can tie over your own.
The paintings are very vivid, and the multitude of deities is impressive. Outside they have some presentation for some of them.
Overall was a nice experience and the people there are very friendly.
Walking into Sri Mariamman Temple felt like stepping into a living painting. The vibrant colors, intricate carvings, and peaceful energy made the whole space feel sacred and alive. The details on the temple’s facade are stunning, and once inside, everything feels serene and full of meaning.

My first time in a Hindu temple and what a unique experience. I happened to be there during a prayer session and it was fascinating to observe. The rituals, chanting, music created such a lively atmosphere. The temple itself is colorful and decorated with intricate figurines and designs. Pretty impressive details. Very welcoming to visitors, I was invited to join for lunch, even as a guest. It was such a thoughtful gesture and really added to the experience. I was a little worried about leaving my shoes outside, but everything was fine, and they were exactly where I left them.

My family had great fun posing with the wall paintings. Sure brings back a hell of a lot of memories, especially for my folks, as it depicts their era and way of life. Nostagic and offer a peek for my younglings to see back in time. Great fun for young and old!
