Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman

The Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple is the world’s first and Malaysia’s only glass temple. The temple has also been listed in the Malaysian Book of Records as the first and only glass temple in the country. The Hindu temple in Johor Bahru is covered almost entirely with glass.

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. Whether you are an architectural enthusiast or a spiritual seeker, the temple is worth a visit for everyone. 

A symbol of unity and harmony

The various murals and sculptures in the Glass Temple convey the message of unity with social harmony. The centrepiece in this temple is a lotus with Lord Shiva sitting on it which is worshipped by devotees who pour rose water on it. The roof of the temple has 10 gold finished sculptures which depict the message of the cycle of life – from birth, youth, adulthood, to maturity and to death. Though known as a Hindu Temple, the temple has 10 standing white marble statues of Gautam Buddha, Guru Nanak Dev, Sai Baba, Jesus Christ, and Mother Teresa.
