Awash with scents and sights of the subcontinent, this is a microcosm of India where every imaginable Indian product can be found: trinkets, sarees, spices, sweetmeats, nose studs, flower garlands and anything else that an Indian household needs. Traces of Hinduism are found everywhere, from the elaborate temples to wall calendars with pictures of Hindu deities. On Sundays, Indian locals and foreign workers flock the streets to eat, chat, shop and worship. Hard though it is to walk through the crowds, this is a unique spectacle you should not miss.

In the Silver Chariot Procession, the statue of the goddess Sri Draupadi of the Sri Mariamman Temple is set within a towering, beautifully decorated silver chariot for a procession around Chinatown and Little India. The chariot stops at the Sithi Vinagar Temple in Keong Siak Road in Chinatown and at another four sites in Little India, Campbell Lane (next to Little India Arcade), Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple and Sri Vadapathira Kaliamman Temple. At each stop, onlookers can catch a glimpse of devotees and priests making offerings to the deity on the chariot.
