Sri Sivan Temple entrance view of Foo Hai Chan Monastery

The featured image was taken from within the Sri Sivan Temple, to the left of the entrance. You’ll see the Foo Hai Chan Monastery ahead of you. The foreground in my composition is a tabletop. By MRT: - Closest MRT Station: Paya Lebar (East West Line & Circle Line) - Take exit “C” - Walk along the sheltered walkway for approximately 450m (5 minutes) to the Hindu temple. Address: 24 Geylang East Ave 2, Singapore 389752

All months of the year are suitable to photograph from this temple area.

The featured image was taken during blue hour when the temples were illuminated. Visiting in the afternoon is also nice as the varying light and shadows brings focus to different areas of the temples' architecture. Throughout the year there are special festivals at both the Hindu and Buddhist temples — these would also be great times to visit.

Photographing in the premise of the temple is allowed, but it is of utmost importance to respect the temple goers and the temple deities. You're also required to observe the temple dress code.

By using a wide-angle lens (24mm-35mm) you’ll be able to incorporate more of the surrounding temples.

I captured tiny water droplets (in the foreground) on a table directly in front of the walkway and waited for a mother-daughter duo to walk pass. Be patient to capture your perfect moment.

I like how the Buddhist tower is flanked between the sides of the Hindu temple. Move around and find your creative perspective!

Paya Lebar Square has a decent ramen outlet (Tonkotsu King)

You’re near the Gelang Industrial Estate which is also a popular photography location.
