Singapore’s Little India: A Photographic Look

Look both ways before and while you cross. Cars don’t stop for pedestrians.

Colorful cutouts hang over the road in celebration for the upcoming Deepavali Festival.

An outdoor market temporarily set up a month in advance for Deepavali. Thousands of stringed ornaments hang from the tent ceiling.

The Deepavali markets sell homemade sweets and snacks. A vendor tells me they are imported from Malaysia.

Driver slowly approaches an extended family of pigeons. I’ve experienced vehicles zoom right in front of me as I am about to cross a road. These pigeons are getting more respect than some of us humans.

Typical street view of Little India. New residential buildings in the distance. More are built everyday.

The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is open to people from all religions and social standings. I’m told Hindu temples tend to have strict entrance rules depending on who runs it.

A closer look at the temple’s detailed exterior.

These carriage rides are made for tourists, not native to Little India.

Not too far away, a man smiles on his bike.

I can’t help but think he was posing for my shot. Great pose, mister :)
