This charming Indian enclave offers visitors a rich sensory experience through cultural festivals celebrated at different times throughout the year, traditional temples, colourful shops and a wide range of restaurants. Visitors can go on a shopping spree at the 24-hour mega shopping mall, Mustafa Centre, and sign up for tours in the area.
One of the most vibrant and charismatic ethnic districts in Singapore, Little India attracts visitors with its sheer exuberance of life on the streets. Here, with the air smelling of spices, incense and jasmine, it is not uncommon to see Indian women in their colourful saris browse through boutiques, while loud Indian pop music blares from shops. Gaily painted shophouses along Serangoon Road and side streets add to the district’s charm. A mix of old Singapore and new, Little India’s trendy cafés, restaurants and shops, designer boutique hotels and hip backpacker hostels exist side by side with goldsmiths, traditional Indian restaurants, and the occasional parrot astrology fortune teller. Picturesque on regular days, the neighbourhood is at its vibrant best during festivals such as Pongal (celebrating the harvest) and Deepavali. Visitors can sign up for a variety of tours in the area.
