Kampung Bahru Sikh Temple, Kuala Lumpur

Standing in its red brick glory is the Sikh temple, reminiscent of Kuala Lumpur's pre-war shop-houses. The temple gates are normally closed to traffic, but there is a side entrance that allows individuals to enter. In keeping with the Sikh faith, there are no icons. Instead, pictures of Sikh saints line the entrance hall. The temple is open only occasionally, including special festivals. Visitors may have to make do with a view through the gates.
