Sri Siva Durga Temple (Tamil: ஸ்ரீ சிவதுர்கா கோவில்) is a temple for the god Shiva and Durga who are the presiding deities located in the Potong Pasir subzone of the Toa Payoh planning area, Singapore.

History

[edit]

In 2014, the temple was demolished due to issues such as water leakage, lack of space and ventilation problems.[1] The sculpture of Hindu goddess Sri Durga remained in its original spot, encased in bricks to protect it while the temple is rebuilt around it. The rebuilding costs $2.7 million and finished in 2016.[1]

On 4 Dec 2016, a consecration ceremony was held by the temple with the help of its coffeeshop neighbour, PP 881 Eating House and the Mahakaruna Buddhist Society.[1]
