Details
Sri Shakti Temple is reportedly the only temple in the world where manifestations of all 51 Shaktis are installed. Consciously interspersed within this space are 96 carved pillars that depict the 96 universal principles of Hinduism.
Encircled by a huge decorative wall, entrance into the temple is via a magnificent Rajagopuram (multi-tiered main gateway shrine). Soaring to a height of 74 feet, the 5-tiered Raja Gopuram is a proud proclamation of the architectural treasures within.
The temple’s main entrance comprises 18-foot high sculptured granite frames weighing up to 4 tonnes, carved by skilled craftsmen from the ancient city of Mahabalipuram in Tamilnadu, India.
Other delightful granite sculptures include a lion with a freely moving ball in its mouth crafted from a single block of granite, life-like baby elephants and the elaborate steps within the temple which incorporate the Yali (a Hindu mythical being).
Boasting complex architectural details, intricate sculptural designs and other unique features, Bukit Rotan’s Sri Shakti Temple certainly exemplifies the best of Indian architecture in Malaysia.
