Singapore's Hindu community largely follows the Tamil calendar. Timings on this page use Singapore's own sunrise and sunset.
Well-known temples: Sri Mariamman Temple, Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, Sri Thendayuthapani Temple.
Deepavali is a public holiday in Singapore, and the Thaipusam procession runs from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
