Sri Kandaswamy Hindu Temple at Kalamandapan Brickfields - In the early 1900s,a community elder received a vision of a temple at a site located at the end of Scott Road, at Klang River. It was acquired shortly thereafter. The temple developed slowly over the years. In 1927 a new organization, the all-Hindu "Ceylon Saivites Association," assumed management from the original Selangor Ceylon Tamil Association, some of whose members were of other faiths. In the 1950s, religious classes on Saiva Siddhanta were instituted for youth, along with the learning of Tamil Devaram, sacred hymns by the saints. By 1965 the temple boasted a library, offices and dining facility. In 1973 a 700-seat wedding hall was dedicated by then Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Tun Abdul Razak bin Dato Hussein. Sri Kandaswamy Temple is located at No. 3, Lorong Scott (Scott Road) Off Jalan Tun Sambanthan, 50470, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
