PM Wong joins 10,000 devotees at Singapore Hindu temple consecration ceremony

SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Sunday joined more than 10,000 devotees for the consecration ceremony at the Sri Siva-Krishna Temple in the Marsiling Rise housing estate in northern Singapore.

This is a third consecration ceremony at the temple – it was previously held in 1996 and 2008. A consecration ceremony is held to ensure that the temple remains the focal point of spiritual activities and reinforces the temple’s place as a community centre.

It is the only temple in Singapore where the main deity is Sri Siva-Krishna, an amalgamation of both Sri Shiva and Sri Krishna. It represents a unique unified concept of creation, preservation and destruction as represented by the two deities.
