Little India, Singapore - Wanderela

Little India, located east of the Singapore River, is one of the most visited neighborhoods in Singapore. The area is renowned for its religious structures, which include Hindu and Buddhist temples as well as a mosque from the 19th century. Due to the presence of a racetrack, it was a significant location for Europeans in the early 19th century. With the advent of the cattle-trading industry, a significant number of migrant workers from India began to settle in the area, giving it an Indian appearance.

Later, the products and services industry flourished, and many Hindu temples and mosques were constructed. Today, Little India is one of Singapore's most vibrant communities due to its Indian and multi-cultural flavors. Along Serangoon road, there are a number of Indian eateries and restaurants where you can sample traditional South Indian cuisine, Northern tandoori dishes, and local specialties such as Roti-Prata and Teh-Arik (drawn hot tea).

You can also visit the brewers, who draw hot milk in a manner that is fascinating to observe. Another well-known location in Little India is the 24-hour retail mall Mustafa Center. Little India has a roofless Tekka Center, goldsmiths, and Saree establishments, just like an Indian bazaar. Little India receives the majority of its visitors during the Indian holiday seasons, namely October and November for Deepavali and mid-January for Pongal.
