History & significance A Shiva temple on Kallang Road begun in 1888 as a shrine by Tamil Hindu workers of the Municipal Gasworks depot, which is why it is still known locally as the Kallang Gasworks Sivan Temple. It was rebuilt in brick in 1934 with funding from the sons of A. V. Irullappa Pillay and renovated again in 1974.

Not yet sourced: how to reach it, its sthala katha, who paid for it and a source beyond Wikipedia.
Those are gaps in our citations, not in the record of the site. A field appears here only once we can cite it, so an absent one means the sourcing is still to do — most of these facts are well attested somewhere we have not read yet: a gazetteer, an inscription volume, the temple’s own office. We omit rather than guess.
