Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple
Bedste tid at besøge
Late afternoon into early evening, when the crowds thin and the nightly aarti lamps are lit. Weekday evenings are far quieter than weekends, and January's Thaipusam brings the biggest spectacle.
Budgettips
Entry is free, and donations are optional. Remove your shoes at the door, carry a few coins for offerings, and skip the prasadam counter if you want to stay strictly no-spend.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Fem etager af udhuggede guddomme klatrer op ad en 22 meter høj gopuram, der dominerer kvarterets skyline. På Thaipusam drager tusindvis af tilbedere af sted fra netop disse grunde på en hård vandring, mange bærende tunge kavadier fastgjort med kroge og spyd.
Højdepunkter: I hjertet af helligdommen sidder hovedidollet på en sten-Garuda, ørnen der tjener som Vishnus ridedyr, med vingerne frosset midt i et slag over smørlamperne. Under festivaler klæder præsterne statuen i friske jasminkranse så tykke, at de vejer flere kilo, og hele salen lugter af kamfer og frangipani.
Insidertips
- Store your shoes in the free racks near the entrance, since the stone floors are kept spotless.
- Circulate clockwise and pause at the gopuram's lower carvings, where the detail is sharpest at eye level.
- For Thaipusam in late January, arrive before 6 a.m. to watch the first kavadi processions depart without the crush.
- Chat with the volunteers at the office if you want to catch a special alankaram, the lavish flower dressing of the deity.
