Sri Siva Durga Temple - 8 Potong Pasir Ave 2

It's a nice temple with lots of space and deities. It'll be a pleasant experience every time. Thanks.

In the past, this hindu temple was known as Sri Sivan temple, but then it was renamed as Sri Siva Durga Temple in 2001. This temple is not just for prayer ceremonies but it provide charity, educational programs and performing arts activities so as to promote social, cultural, religious and other spiritual understanding based on the Hindu religious principles and practices. It's also provide scholarship, bursary and other forms of social services to needy families, organisations and individuals. Now the temple has a new look after the renovation. It is located 300 meters from Potong Pasir MRT station and you can walk for 5 minutes to reach this temple.

One of the few temples with good parking space.

Well maintained temple. Full of goodness. Swamy somanather ambal Sundaravalli. And big durgai Amman Sannadi is also there. There is a lingam which is aatma lingam we can do absisegam by our own hands. All god's shannathi as like proper Shiva temple in India.

Durgaji’s Temple, a must visit for all loving devotees ?

I attended the temple today, 17 March, for conducting a "new car" prayer. Though there was a little bit of a language issue as I do not speak tamil, the priest who attended to me was extremely patient and guiding. After a prayer within the temple, we proceeded outside the temple to bless and anoint the car. Despite the fact that it had started to drizzle and was looking like it was going to start raining heavily, the priest continue to do the prayers at a calm pace, taking his time to complete the prayers fully and bless my vehicle. I felt a deep sense of calm and gratitude at the end of the prayers and drove away feeling blessed and serene. I do not know if the temple management will see this but I hope that they will feedback to the priest in their own way about how special I felt after the prayers. I will definitely recommend anyone, Hindu or not, to please do not hesitate to get your new car blessed at this temple. ?

You will feel blessed by Mother Goddess Amman ♥️?❤️... amazing temple. Lovable temple. Easy and accessible by Potong Pasir MRT.. walking distance 5 mins from MRT.

Shri Siva Durga temple is near Potong Pasir MRT Station. The temple, which has been at the Potong Pasir location since the 1980s, was torn down for reconstruction in 2014 because of issues such as water leakage and complaints on the lack of space and ventilation. Only a sculpture of Hindu goddess Sri Durga was retained in its original spot during the $2.7 million rebuilding efforts. Her sanctum was encased in bricks as the new temple was built around it. "We received numerous requests by devotees to retain her so we put in reinforcements and ensured that vibrations were minimal to prevent damage during the building process," said Mr Krishnamurthi. During the upgrading, devotees could still worship its other deities, as well as a smaller version of Sri Durga, at a temporary space within the compound. Currently devotees are expected to enter from the left side of the gate following COVID-19 safety measures. They can then join the queue for getting prayer slips for a dollar or two. They then proceed to the temple and offer their prayers. Food items offerings can be bought for dollar two or three inside the temple. Consumption of food is not allowed inside the temple.
