Karumariamman Temple, Penang

The Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple of Seberang Jaya is a South Indian Hindu temple noted for having the largest rajagopuram, or main sculpture tower, in Malaysia.

[citation needed] The Arulmigu Karumariamman Temple, as with many Hindu temples in Malaysia, had its humble origin over a hundred years ago as an estate temple catering to the needs of the estate workers living in the Paduma Estate in Perai.

Nevertheless, in response to the demand of the residents, the Penang State Government granted a piece of land for the building a new Hindu temple.

Dato Seri S. Samy Velu, the Minister of Works, laid the foundation stone of the temple on 16 February 1997.
