Apparently, I had stumbled across the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple -- a place in which members of the Hindu religion worship the deity Lord Thendayuthapani, also known as Murugan. Built in 1859 A.D., the temple is one of the oldest in Singapore, according to it's website.
What a beautiful find! Okay, so it's been there for more than a century and a half, but I hadn't seen it yet. Who knows what the next stroll in town will bring?
Cheers,
Kristina

Cool! I love getting "lost" in whatever city we live. It's how I've always "learned" my way around without a map, using land marks and street signs as my guide. I was explaining this technique to the new driver in our family, as he prepares to go off to college next year. I told him getting lost is the best way to learn your way around any city! And, of course, the very best way to discover unique treasures that maybe would have been missed if you're more focused on a map rather than what's right in front of you! Have FUN! Can't wait to read about more surprises that you discover!
W.O.W! That is breathtaking! I can't imagine how it must be to see in person :) I'll be sure to earmark that for if I ever make it to Singapore!
