Little India

Populated by descendants of the Indians who arrived in Singapore in the mid 1800s, Little India is one of Singapore’s most colourful districts spreading out along Serangoon Road.
Mass congregations of Indians form on Saturdays where they share with one another the happenings from ‘home’.
This place is further transformed into a fairyland of gaily decorated brightly lit streets overcrowding with shoppers during Deepavali -the Indian Festival of Lights whereby the Indians celebrate the victory of goodness over evil, light over darkness and ushers in their New Year.

This spice scented street brings you to a treasure trove of silverware, brassware, ethnic jewellery, jasmine garlands and silk saris for those interested in such objects.
Take a tour in the Little India Cultural Corner next to the food court in Little India which fascinates you with archival displays. Story signs are present to explain the rich symbolism and use of such archives.
I would suggest the adventurers to savour a South Indian rice meal with your fingers from a banana leaf at the Banana Leaf Apolo Restaurant or Muthu’s Curry restaurant along Race Course Road to emulate the Indians’ way of having a meal for it is believed that food taste better when you feed it using your fingers.



Getting there: From Orchard Road, take SBS bus 64, 64 or 111 to Serangoon Road.

Walking tour guides of Chinatown and Little India are available at the various Singapore Visitors Centres.
