About
A Hindu temple of the Tamil community, built in the late 19th century, a few minutes' walk from Ben Thanh market.
Why go
Tamil people who came from South India to do business in Saigon built the temple to worship the goddess Mariamman. Today Vietnamese and Chinese people nearby also come to pray for safety, and students come to pray for exams. The multi-tiered gate tower is covered with brightly painted statues of deities, and in 2025 the temple was recognized as a city-level architectural and artistic heritage site.
Good to know
The temple is small and takes about half an hour to see. You must take off your shoes before entering, and should ask before photographing people who are praying.
