Shri Ramar Temple

The temple started with a shrine at the foot of a tree at the present temple site. The shrine was a place of worship for the people in the nearby localities. Ram Naidu, from the British Indian Army, secured the present site of the temple from the British at the end of the Second World War and built the temple. Over time, people living in the surrounding areas came there to participate in the daily prayers and activities.

The Loyang Avenue Redevelopment Project almost forced the temple to relocate; however, with the steady resolve of the temple’s supporters and with the assistance of Mr Teo Chong Tee, then Member of Parliament for Changi, the temple won its fight to keep its premises. And it continues to serve the spiritual needs of Singaporeans living in the eastern part of Singapore at its present location in Changi.

The unique aspect of this temple lies in its amalgamation of three Hindu temples:
Sri Manmatha Karunaya Eswarar temple, which was located at 249 Cantonment Road
Sri Muthu Mariamman temple, which was located at the former Singapore Turf Club
Sri Palani Aandavar Shrine, which was located at Kranji Sea.
