It's a traditional Tamil temple in modern Malaysia. Sri Kandaswamy Kovil, built by the original generation of Hindu immigrants from India and Ceylon, is now over a hundred years old. Compare its colorful strategy for serving the needs of the faithful to medieval Europe's cathedrals with their ornate stained glass windows. [2011]
This temple is amazing! I agree that it is very ornate, just like cathedrals in medieval Europe. If they are truly similar to medieval cathedrals, I would love to hear the stories that all of these bright colors and ornate carvings are telling.
