The Sri Siva Krishna Temple is a prominent Hindu place of worship situated in the Woodlands residential area of Singapore. Originally established as a small shrine in the 1960s, it transitioned to its current permanent structure to serve the growing local Hindu community. The temple serves as a center for both religious rituals and community-building activities, often hosting cultural workshops and festive celebrations. Its architectural design incorporates traditional South Indian Dravidian elements, featuring intricate gopuram carvings. The temple is managed by a board of trustees and functions as a registered charity under the laws of Singapore. It remains a key focal point for community festivals, including Maha Shivaratri and Navaratri.
The exterior gopuram, which showcases detailed traditional sculptures, provides the best architectural perspective.
