Central Sikh Temple was built to commemorate the 518th
anniversary of Guru Nanak, the first Sikh guru. The chief
place of worship for Singapore's 15,000 Sikhs, the temple
boasts a skillful blend of modern and traditional
architecture. The Granth Sahib, or holy book, is enshrined
in a magnificent prayer hall which has a 13-metre wide dome.
