Sri Veeraman Kaliamman Devasthanam
2514 Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, 11700 Gelugor

Sri Veerama Kaliamman Devasthanam is a Hindu temple in Gelugor, Penang. It traces its history to a small shrine of the Tamil settlement of Gelugor, at a time when the Tamils were breeding cattle in the area. To the Indians, the area was once known as Perai Tholam, or large estate, referring to the cattle and coconut estates that were in Gelugor until the mid 1960's.
