Located in Singapore's Central Region, Little India is a vibrant enclave that offers an authentic experience of the Indian community's rich culture. Little India is situated east of the Singapore River and is subject to the city's warm tropical climate all year round, making the early mornings or evenings the best times for a visit.

With its pulse firmly on the daily life of Singapore, the district comes alive, especially along Serangoon Road where Indian traditions meet modern Singaporean lifestyle. Visitors are greeted by streets beaming with restored shophouses painted in bright colors, and aromatic Indian restaurants, textile shops, and specialty stores selling everything from shining brass vessels to fragrant spices.

Despite Singapore's relentless modernization, Little India stands out through its authentic preservation of culture. The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, one of Singapore's oldest Hindu temples, is an emblem of the area's profound heritage. Equally noteworthy is the Mustafa Centre—a 24-hour shopping complex cherished by locals and tourists for its extensive product range and competitive prices.

If you’re a foodie, the banana leaf rice experience at Anjappar and the famous fish head curry at Muthu's Curry are culinary feats that you can't miss out on. The district pulsates with energy during festivals like Deepavali, transforming the streets with dazzling light installations and cultural performances. While you're there, make sure to visit the Little India Arcade for traditional Indian crafts and the Tekka Centre for an unparalleled local food and wet market experience.
