Description of Programme
Step into one of Singapore’s most vibrant districts – Little India. Be excited by the colourful sights, exciting sounds and fragrant smells of our bustling Indian enclave! Understand how the cattle trade led to the development of ‘Little India’ during the mid-19th century.
Let us share with you about the early Indian immigrants and their contributions, and other historic personalities and events that gave Little India its unique character. Discover more about Little India's multicultural diversity by visiting prominent Hindu temples, mosques and a heritage house.
By the end of the programme, you will have a better understanding of the origins, diverse culture and colourful practices of the Indian community. Challenge yourself and each other in a quiz to gauge your understanding of Little India and its history. Reflect also on changing attitudes and the evolving role and successes of the Indian community in contemporary Singapore.
