About Our Temple

Established in 1890 by employees of the Pajam estate, the Arulmigu Devi Sri Maha Mariamman Alayam temple was originally constructed using red clay and bricks. The temple features a 12-foot-tall gopuram. In 2009, Mr. Thirunalsamy and the temple committee undertook an expansion of the temple, with support from Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew. Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew not only contributed financially to the temple's construction but also donated 5 acres of land. The temple houses a karungal-made statue of Amman, believed to be more than 60 years old. The local residents express their devotion through prayers at this sacred place.
