Central Sikh Temple
Central Sikh Temple is the first and oldest Sikh Gurudwara in Singapore, established in 1912. Over the years, it moved through various locations before settling at its present site in 1986, located along Towner Road at the junction of Serangoon Road in Kallang. It’s easily accessible, just a short walk from Boon Keng MRT station and close to the vibrant Little India area.
The Gurudwara is spread across two main floors. The Gurudwara has a beautifully maintained prayer hall, where the Guru Granth Sahib is placed with great reverence. The hall offers a peaceful and spiritual space, ideal for prayer, reflection or simply soaking in the calming atmosphere of Sikh devotional music.
On the first floor, visitors can enjoy Langar, the traditional Sikh community kitchen that serves free vegetarian meals to all. Food is simple, hearty and similar to delicious home-cooked Indian cuisine. Langar is available during key meal times throughout the day, including breakfast, lunch, tea time and dinner.
Warm, welcoming and spiritually enriching, Central Sikh Temple is a must-visit spot—whether you’re seeking faith, culture or community.
