Local people worship temple because in past it served as refuge center for refugees and immigrants from South India.

Once every 12 years, in keeping with Hindu tradition, the temple is deconsecrated. The unique annual fire-walking ceremony is held about a week before Deepavali — the Festival of Lights. Very nice Singapore landmark.
