Central Sikh Temple is the first Sikh gurdwara in Singapore. Established in 1912, the temple had relocated several times before moving to its current site at Towner Road at the junction of Serangoon Road in Kallang in 1986 near Boon Keng MRT station.
History
editAs the number of Sikh immigrants in Singapore increased, a group of Sikhs purchased a bungalow at Queen Street, Singapore with the help of Wassiamull, a Sindhi merchant, to have a place of worship.[1] The bungalow eventually became a gurdwara and established as the Central Sikh Temple, or Wadda Gurdwara, which meant "The Big Temple".[1]
