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.
