Singapore's Little India is the heart of the island's Indian community but not everything in this neighborhood is Indian. There are the Chinese-owned businesses here but are minority in an island that is three-quarter ethnic Chinese. You can also see Singaporeans from other communities coming here purchasing Indian spices while others head to the Indian restaurants.
A major landmark on Serangoon Road is the Sri Veeramakaliamman (Hindu) Temple, constructed in 1881 and dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali. The temple was built in the style of temples often seen in southern India. There are several Indian restaurants along Serangoon Road and Komala's seems to be quite popular with two locations in the area.
