Little India is probably one of the most shining districts in Singapore when the sun kisses the colorful buildings and arts. It is not a big thing - but at least you should have seen the House of Tan Teng Niah and the street art nearby, the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, as well as the Tekka Centre, which is a place you sometimes need the capability to withstand some "smell" coming from the butchers and the wet market. Starting at the Little India MRT it takes you not more than 1 hour to see the main things of Little India. Leaving Little India via Campbell Ln, you can stroll through a market - where Indians sell some nice souvenirs from textiles to furnitures - and further head to Arab street near Bugis MRT. On the way from Little India to Arab Street you can stop at the Abdul Gafoor Mosque.
The area around Arab Street is a perfect location for a coffee break or maybe drinks. The streets are full of street art, which make the place a pretty cool neighborhood. As Little India it is very colorful, with new and trendy hangouts. It is also a good place for dinner and drinks in the evening.
Those who want to experience a little bit more about the history and development of the Indian district should join of the free walking tours offered by different organizations such as "Monster Day Tours".
In the weeks before Dipawali, which is the most important holiday of the year for India, the streets of Little India are even more steeped into bright lights. A beautiful scenery. When you have the chance to be there for Dipawali, the Hindu festival of lights, you should definitely visit Little India.
