The entrance of this temple was beautiful and very inviting — so we decided to check it out. We had to take our shoes off before going in — on the left of the entrance, there will be a person in charge to keep your shoes for RM0.20. Admission is free of charge.
The temple was pretty clean and quite spacious, so we just took our time walking around. I don’t know much about the religion but thought it was a good experience to look at the sculptures here. It was also a learning experience as after coming here, I came back and decided to do a little bit of reading of the deities.
This temple is within walking distance from Pasar Seni LRT.

Located at Jalan Tun H. S. Lee, you can spot it easily as it is at the edge or Chinatown a.k.a Petaling Street. I’m not sure how famous this temple really is, but since I grew up around this area, I tend to take it for granted till I was around that area and managed to have a glimpse of this temple.
According to the local Hindus here, you are not allowed to wear your shoes inside the temple and clothes must be conservative for us ladies. The architecture was absolutely stunning!!! It is beyond words to describe it per say.
And if you are coming to pay your respect, you can always buy some jasmine flowers at the outside stalls of the temples! Well, since it is in KL, you will expect paying at a price slightly higher by 10%.
I had a fun time just had a quick turnaround in the temple, you should come here too.

If you’re around Jalan Petaling (Petaling Street) for sightseeing or just for a walk around the block, you should consider visiting the Sri Mahamariamman Temple which is just on the edge of Jalan Petaling.
Sri Mahamariamman Temple is the oldest and richest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur, founded in 1873. It’s easy to spot it; look out for its tall and grand entrance which you can probably see a block away.
Despite being the oldest temple in KL, it is well maintained. The deities are painted over regularly and stand vivid and colourful under the sun. The walls and floors are clean. Both marble and concrete floors are comfortable to walk around barefooted or probably the small Wednesday crowd wasn’t enough to dirty the floor.
Nonetheless the Sri Mahamariamman Temple is worth visiting at least once for worshippers and tourists, both local and foreign. Its opening hours are from 6am to 12pm, then from 4.30pm to 9pm. Entrance is free for everybody!
