Bayan Baru Sivan Temple

Bayan Baru Sivan Temple is a new Hindu temple being built in Sungai Keluang, Bayan Lepas. It is expected to be completed by 2009, and the consecration ceremony or Maha Kumbabishegam, has already been planned for 1 February 2009. The temple will be formally known as Sri Vishwanather Sri Visalatchi Temple.

During my visit to the Bayan Baru Sivan Temple in October 2008, I see that it is still yet to be completed. A thatch structure sheltered the gopuram, or sculpture tower. At the entrance is a newly built arch with figures of deities which are momentarily whitewashed. I am not sure whether they will be finished in color for the consecration in February.

Bayan Baru Sivan Temple is located on Jalan Tokong Ular, the sliproad off Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. The nearest bus stop is in front of the Snake Temple. You can take Rapid Penang Bus 305, 401 and U502 to reach it.
