The gopuram as you step into the temple. Typical Tamil Architecture.
Well I am from Madurai after all!

Veeramaakaliamman Temple - Singapore
The first Hindu Temple that was built by the Indian Labourers in Singapore. Interestingly this was built by bengali convict-coolies who were brought to Singapore as cheap labour after being tried for their mutiny in 1857. Therefore the main deity is Durga. However the temple absorbed the Tamil influence over the centuries and now the bengali influence is hardly discernable.
