  • Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple (Tamil: ஸ்ரீ வீரமாகாளியம்மன் கோவில்; Chinese: 维拉马卡拉曼庙), also known earlier as Soonambu Kambam Kovil, is a Hindu temple located in the middle of Little India in the southern part of Singapore. The temple started as a shrine dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali in 1855 before a temple was built by Bengali labourers in 1881. Images of Kali within the temple show her wearing a garland of skulls and ripping out the insides of her victims, and Kali sharing more peaceful family moments with her sons Ganesha and Murugan. The building is constructed in the style of South Indian Tamil temples common in Tamil Nadu as opposed to the style of Northeastern Indian Kali temples in Bengal, where Her worship is extremely widespread but the style of temple construction differs considerably. This temple has also been used to shelter people from Japanese air raids during the horrid period of World War 2 In 2018, the Charities Commissioner has barred the temple's chairman Sivakadacham, former chairman R Selvaraju, and secretary Ratha Krishnan Selvakumar from their posts, after the three, who were cheque signatories and approvers for payments, issued more than $1.5 million in uncrossed cheques. Of these, 45 cheques – totalling more than $227,000 – were not issued to the names of the intended recipients of the proceeds. The inquiry also revealed that Ratha had obtained loans of $350,000 without the management committee's approval and with no written loan agreements with the lenders. Cash loans and disbursements of proceeds from the loans were also not properly accounted for in the temple's records. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. (en)
  • Храм Шри Вирамакалиямман (там. ஸ்ரீ வீரமாகாளியம்மன் கோவில்; китай.: 维拉马卡卡拉曼庙) — индуистский храм (там. கோவில் — «ковиль»), расположенный в центре района Малая Индия в южной части Сингапура. Храм Шри Вирамакалиямман посвящён индуистской богине Кали, жестокому воплощению Шакти и жене бога Шивы, Парвати. Кали всегда была весьма почитаема в Бенгалии, где родились люди, построившие этот храм в 1881 году. В храме стоит статуя богини Кали со множеством рук и ног, причём в каждой она держит боевое оружие. В главном алтаре помещена чёрная статуя Кали с сыновьями по обеим сторонам — слоноголовым Ганешей и Скандой, богом-младенцем верхом на павлине. По вторникам и пятницам (священные дни) в храме бывает особенно людно. Храм построен в южноиндийском тамильском стиле, распространённом в Тамилнаде, не будучи похожим на храмы, посвящённые Кали и находящиеся на северо-востоке Индии, в Бенгалии, в местности где её культ особенно популярен.
