Visitors from around the world are always amazed to see the beauty of the temple and its architecture. Here's what people from around the world have to say after their experience here:
When I visited this Temple, I found a symbiosis of Oriental and occidental culture. The Indian culture truly reflected in construction, maintenance and offering of prayers. I felt I am purified after my visit to the Temple.

The moment I stepped into the Temple, an electrifying feeling evolved through my system. I was particularly impressed by the colour codes used and the nostalgiclike feeling in the temple. The Chola like theme elevated the Temple to its uniqueness - something which I have always held in high regard, when I visited the Chola Temples in South India. It is a definitely a Temple I would like to continue to frequent each time I visit my uncles and aunties in Singapore.

I never expected nor dreamt a Temple as beautiful as the Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Temple can be built especially outside India and Sri Lanka. I was particularly thrilled that the Sri Lankan customs are very closely adopted and that strict adoption of the Vedas and Agamas in the chanting of the mantras and in conducting the religious rites and rituals. The huge collection of Vinayagars in the showcase and the ability to see the Temple’s Vimanam from inside the Temple are some of the exciting features of this Ceylon Road Temple. Ceylon Tamils in Singapore and Malaysia should be proud to have such a world-class Temple here in Singapore. On this note, I would like to congratulate the Tamils here for playing their part in getting this majestic Temple built.
Last but not least Kudos to Dr.R.Theyvendran, Mr.S.Moganaruban and the Team for a job well done.

As I leave back to Darwin, Australia, after spending the last 8 years in Singapore, amongst others, I am also going to miss my weekly visits to this place where "Miraculous Healing" takes place. I had many upturns in my life and my family’s life ever since I started visiting the Temple after its Kumbabishegam Ceremony on 8th February 2003.
One such "miraculous happening" was coinciding the Anthiyetti Ceremony of my late father, Mr.S.Sivakaruniam to the Temple’s Kumbabishegam Ceremony. My late father was always ready to detach himself from the material world and elevate himself spiritually. I believe, the Benevolent and Omnipresent Senpaga Vinayagar had made this possibly by coinciding the day when his soul detaches from his loved ones ascend to the Lord, the Consecration Ceremony of his favourite Temple. The Lord has indeed worked in mysterious ways and I am proud to have been associated with one of THE Temple in Asia.
Dr.Theyvendran has shared with me his next Dream of building a large Vinayagar sitting on a Lotus Pond. I do hope that he succeeds in this mammoth but achievable project. I definitely will assist him in whatever little way possible, with the small group of Tamils in Darwin.
