Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City · 10.7723°, 106.6956°
Built in the late nineteenth century by Nagarathar merchants from Tamil Nadu, with Palaniappa Chettiar named as its founder, this is the principal Hindu temple of Ho Chi Minh City. A raja-gopuram about 12 metres high fronts a mandapam, and deity figures line the outer walls. It now serves some fifty Tamil families, but most of those who come to worship are Vietnamese or Sino-Vietnamese devotees of Mariamman.
