Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple
Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman
A Hindu temple whose interior is inlaid with some 300,000 pieces of coloured glass mosaic, and Malaysia's first glass temple.
The temple was founded in 1922. In 2009, its chief priest, Sinnathamby, decorated the entire shrine with about 300,000 pieces of coloured glass and mirror fragments that sparkle under the lights. The walls also bear images of the Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi and other figures, reflecting religious inclusiveness. Admission is about RM10, and opening hours are generally 13:00–17:00. Visitors must remove their shoes and wear long trousers or a long skirt. The temple sits about 1.5 km north of Johor Bahru railway station, right beside the railway tracks; a taxi is the most convenient way there.
