The Sri Maha Mariamman Temple (Tamil: ஸ்ரீ மகாமாரியம்மன் திருக்கோவில், romanized: Śrī Māriyammaṉ Kōvil), or Sri Mahamariamman Temple (Malay: Kuil Sri Mahamariamman), is the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Founded in 1873, it is situated at the edge of Chinatown in Jalan Bandar (formerly High Street). In 1968, a new structure was built, featuring the ornate 'Raja Gopuram' tower in the style of South Indian temples.
From its inception, the temple provided an important place of worship for early Indian immigrants and is now an important cultural and national heritage.
