The Sri Mahamariamman Temple (Tamil: ஸ்ரீ மகாமாரியம்மன் திருக்கோவில், Śrī Māriyammaṉ Kōvil) is the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Founded in 1873, it is situated at the edge of Chinatown in Jalan Bandar (formerly High Street). In 1968, a new structure was built, featuring the ornate 'Raja Gopuram' tower in the style of South Indian temples.
From its inception, the temple provided an important place of worship for early Indian immigrants and is now an important cultural and national heritage.
History
The Sri Mahamariamman Temple was founded by K. Thamboosamy Pillai in 1873 and was initially used as a private shrine by the Pillai family. The family threw the temple doors open to the public in the late 1920s and eventually handed the management of the temple over to a board of trustees.
This is the oldest functioning Hindu temple in Malaysia. It is also reputed to be the richest in the country. The temple was originally sited somewhere near the Kuala Lumpur railway station. It shifted to its present location along Jalan Tun H.S. Lee (next to KL's Chinatown) in 1885.
The initial attap structure was demolished in 1887 and a brick building was erected in its place. That structure was demolished to make way for the current temple building which were completed in 1968. The impressive gateway to the temple, known as the gopuram, was completed in 1972. The new temple was consecrated in 1973.

Tamil Hindu Wedding ceremony
First, the priest sanctifies the area by sprinkling water and reciting holy mantras. The ceremony starts with his prayer to Lord Ganesha on behalf of the Groom. The priest prays Ganesha, also known as the remover of difficulties, to remove all hurdles and promote harmony during the wedding ceremony. After that, the priest gives the Groom a ring made of grass to symbolise mental purity and fastens a saffron bracelet around his right wrist to safeguard against any future malevolence. Then, the priest invites three married women to perform a fertility ritual. They plant nine different grains with milk into a pot to represent their hopes for the couple’s marital happiness.
