History
“The Sri Selva Vinayagar temple was built as a wooden temple about 103 years ago. It was formerly known as Pillaiyar or Vinayagar temple. This temple was earlier maintained by the Prai railway and port labourers. The Sri Selva Vinayagar Temple was reconstructed in 1967.Two Kumbabishegams were held in 1974 and 1991 respectively. 17 years have passed since the last renovation in 1991. This temple was officially registered in 1987 under the Malaysia Society Act 1966 under the name of Kuil Sri Selvavinayagar Hindu Paripalana Devasthanam. Due to public road works, including the construction of an overhead bridge, the land between the road & the temple has been elevated. This in turn, effectively leaves our temple 5 feet below the road level. Furthermore this has caused cracks to appear on the ceiling & the Vimana, resulting in severe water leakage when it rains. This caused the inside of the temple to be wet & slippery, posing a hazard to devotees. Also the older temple layout did not have an access road in front (main entrance) since it is immediately facing the side wall of a neighboring house. The lack of an access road in front of the temple has resulted in devotees coming from the rear of the temple, circumnavigating their way to the main entrance.”New Structure
“Considering the above factors as well as land area limitations, the management committee decided that the Sri Selva Vinayagar’s new abode should be built as a double-storey structure at the current location facing west instead. The new structure is estimated to cost RM 3 million, based on the Quantity Surveyor’s report. On the 11th February 2008, a Palasthabana ceremony was conducted to relocate the deities of the temple to a temporary location next to the Temple. We invoke the Lord’s blessings and call upon you, the devotees and well wishers, to fully support this noble cause by generously contributing in terms of cash, kind & also words of encouragement. Furthermore, the temple has received the approval of tax exemption from the Inland Revenue Board. All donations can be given directly at our temple premises or deposited into our bank account.”

On 2nd May 1802, the East India Company owned by the Governor of Prince of Wales Island, Sir George Leith Boranet Lieutenant granted Ranee a piece of land in the district of Ayer Itam. Ranee created a trust fund in respect of the land known as Lot 171 and 172 T.S. 3 for the temple charity. This trust was further confirmed by a WILL dated 12th July 1872 and a Trust deed created in 1920 and was administered by respective trustees from time to time.
The temple housed a clay image depicting Lord Sri Rama and some photographs of Sri Rama placed in the sanctorum. After the image therein worshipped, the temple is today known as “Sri Ramar Temple”.
Sri Ramar Temple – Early 1920’s
From the above historical development it is presumed that the temple structure was created sometime prior in 1872, thereby placing this temple in the category of being one of the oldest temples in Penang. By a Legislative Order the trust was passed in 1930 to the Mohammedan and Hindu Endowment Board and subsequently to the Hindu Endowment Board.
A management committee, appointed by Hindu Endowment Board had taken steps to renovate the temple which was in a bad state of repair. All necessary approvals were obtained and plans for the renovation and extension had been submitted to the relevant authorities. New idols of Sri Rama, Seetha, Lakshmana, Hanuman, Nagar, Vinayagar and Bali Peedam were purchased. The first consecration was help on 2nd April 1982. This consecration ceremony is held once every 12 years. The last consecration ceremony was held on 27th January 1991.
The next consecration ceremony is behind time as it requires a large sum of money for the renovations and repairs. Estimated cost for the renovations and repairs will be RM700,000. We plan to have the consecration ceremony (Maha Kumbabishegam) on October 2011. We would like to humbly request financial and solidarity support from devotees in supporting our plan to perform a consecration ceremony for Sri Ramar Temple.

The Sri Kunj Bihari Mandir, also known as Krishna Mandir (Temple) as well as Thakorwadi, is the first (and probably only) Northern Indian temple in Penang. It was built in 1835 after receiving an endowment from the Hindus from Bihar in North India in 1833. The temple came under The Hindu Endowments Board in 1906. From then onwards this temple has been administrated by the management committee appointed by the Endowment Board. At that time, the area around the temple was a settlement for the North Indian community comprising the Punjabis, Gujaratis, Sindhis, Bengalis and Uttar Pradeshi Bhaiyas.
According to historical records, Sir George Leith, the Lieutenant Governor of Prince of Wales island, granted a piece Ismail in 1803. From there many years were to pass before a temple was built. It was to be one of the two main Vaishnavite temples in Penang, dedicated for the worship of Vishnu as the supreme deity. Priests for the temple had to be imported from India.
While the lineage of priests serving the temple going back to its founding years have been lost to time, oral testimony has allowed the temple authorities to trace its roots back to the early 1900’s. One of the earliest known priests of the Sri Kunj Bihari Mandir was Pandit. Sri Charan Bhatacharjee born in 1866 and arrived in Penang in 1904.
The Sri Kunj Bihari continued to serve as the religious centre for Hindus from various ethnic backgrounds. Sri Bahari Road nearby is said to take its name from this temple.

Sree Maha Mariamman Devasthanam Temple
Sree Maha Mariamman Devasthanam Temple is a Hindu temple in Bagan Luar, Penang, Malaysia. It is in fact the biggest and probably oldest Hindu temple in Butterworth. Maha Mariamman Devasthanam, a temple dedicated to the mother deity Amman, is the temple for the Hindu community that dwells along Jalan Jeti Lama. The area within the vicinity is a Hindu settlement called Kampung Benggali. Today, there is still a substantial Hindu population living in the area, and businesses such as the Sri Ananda Bharvan Banana Leaf Restaurant is a reflection of the Hindu presence. The Hindus are mostly associated with the Butterworth port. They either worked directly there, or provided supporting trades such as opening sundry shop and food outlets.
The Maha Mariamman Devasthanam Temple is noted for its impressive gopuram which towers over the buildings in the vicinity.
The Butterworth Sree Maha Mariamman temple was founded back in 1853. Ambal’s idol was found by the seaside on 1853 and a small hut was build consecutively to place Ambal’s idol for worship. In 1903, Ponnusami Pillai constructed a temple on the same spot and the 1st consecration ceremony (Kumbabishegam) took place. The current temple structure was build in 1980’s with the consecration ceremony taking place on 1988. On 2002, after some minor renovation works, another consecration ceremony took place.
