In the year 1906 this temple was situated at the former Rumah
Miskin Police Station area (Lavender Street junction).Next this temple was shifted infront
of the former Beatty Secondary School (Beatty Road). At this time this temple looked more
like a hut.With the support of the devotees who are mostly residents staying nearby this
temple was shifted again and relocated to St. Georges Road. In 1965 this temple was
registered as Sri Sivan Temple and the Maha Kumbabishegam (Consecration Ceremony) was
held on 10-9-1975.
In 1980 the Temple site was acquired by HDB thus again this Temple was required to be
shifted. In 1982 this Temple was relocated to the present Potong Pasir site and
preparations
were made to make the foundations to construct the temple in 1985. In 1987, sculptors,
architects and various skilled workers
were brought from India to construct this
temple and the Maha Kumbabishegam was held on 21-1-1991.
Following this, seeing the need to construct at Kodi Maram (Flag staff) and the sanctums
for
the various deities and because of the request of all the devotees who had been
attending this Temple for prayers the neccessary arrangement were made and the
Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony was held on 1-5-1996. Upon completion of all the
necessary
works the Maha Kumbabishegam was held grandly on 17-11-1996. The name of the temple, Sri
