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.
