The Beauty Of Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple

-
 Written by Nurul Syazwaniey Fatin binti Ramlee

Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman is the first glass Hindu temple in the world and the only one in Malaysia. Temple called “Glass” because it’s decorated with glass inside and outside. The temple looks really beautiful, especially on a sunny day with blue skies, when glass shines.

Embellished with over 300,000 pieces of colourful glass pieces, the temple’s floors, pillars and walls are all covered in red, blue, yellow, green, purple and white glass. The ceiling of the temple has large crystal chandeliers hanging and their light reflected on the glass create a surreal effect. The fully air-conditioned temple can accommodate over 1,500 devotees. 


It’s so remarkable that Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple has been listed on Malaysian Book of Records since 12th May 2010. Johor Bahru’s oldest Hindu temple was inspired by Guru Bhagawan Sittar’s trip to Bangkok. 



The various murals and sculptures in the Glass Temple convey the message of unity with social harmony. So, whether you are an architectural enthusiast or a spiritual seeker, the temple is worth a visit for everyone.

  Written by : Siti Nurafiqah binti Zulkifle The Kuda Kepang dance is famous for its mystical powers. This dance has other names such as jaran kepang, kuda lumping, jathilan and ebeg. For Javanese ‘jaran’ is a horse while ‘kepang’ refers to weaving. For the Javanese community, the nickname for the popular kepang horse is the jaran kepang because the show presented is using horse weaving. Kuda kepang are made using woven bamboo. At first, kuda kepang used woven pandan but now some are made of plywood or cowhide. It is usually black with yellow feathers. However, renovations have taken place when there are also horses wrapped in velvet to make the horse look more attractive. Usually decorations like this are for the purpose of presentation at a high level. In ancient times, the performance of kuda kepang was played in worship ceremonies. Some believe that kuda kepang are played for the living to establish contact with the spirits of the dead. Apart from that, it is believed that kuda...

Best Putu Piring in Johor !!!!!!

  This putu piring stall is situated along Jalan Langkasuka in Larkin, Johor Bahru in the compound of the family home of the very warm and friendly Encik Bakar. Encik Bakar said he has been doing putu piring (since 1971) for more than 30 years in the same traditional way. They were smooth, delicately sweet pillows from Gula Melaka. There was a little bit of salt applied to the grated coconut. The yellowish appetising colour came from the turmeric powder applied to the rice flour. My taste buds were introduced to an unusual combination of flavours and texture by consuming the soft and sweet putu piring along with the slightly salty and tender grated coconut. With a teh tarik, I readily polished off 5 putu pirings (for RM2) even with a 3⁄4 tank full tummy. (RM4 for 5 bits, 2019 price.) Restaurant Name: Putu piring larkin dan kuih muih Adress: family home along jalan langkasuka near t junction at jln langkasuska and jln cendrawasih johor bahru. Hours: 12pm - 6pm WRITTER: MUHAMMAD...
