DBKL has confirmed that it has identified a new site for the relocation of the 130-year old Dewi Sri Pathrakali Amman Temple, which currently stands on privately owned land along Jalan Masjid India. The issue started when a private company, who owns the land, proposed constructing a mosque on the site.

A small portion of this land is occupied by the Hindu temple, raising concerns about it’s possible demolition. However, speaking at the Press conference Kuala Lumpur Mayor Dato Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif has assured that no demolition will take place, and the temple can continue operating until the relocation process is finalized.

DBKL clarified that the proposed mosque was not a government initiative but a project by the legal landowner. As the city’s governing authority, DBKL has taken proactive steps to mediate a fair and transparent solution for all involved while upholding Malaysia’s principle of religious freedom.

“The relocation process will be carried out transparently and fairly, with discussions involving all stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition”, DBKL said.

DBKL emphasized that the move is not intended to discriminate against any community and urged all parties to cooperate in maintaining harmony and peace.

The temple stood for over a century, and holds deep historical and cultural significance, for the Hindu community in Kuala Lumpur. While the new relocation site has been identified, further discussions with temple representatives and relevant stakeholders are expected to ensure a seamless work.

Historic Significance

The Devi Sri Pathrakaliamman Temple, is located at Jalan Bunus 6 near Jalan Masjid India, the temple has been there for over 130 years, and has been filled with devotees. The main deity Dewi Sri Pathra Kaliamman, stands over six feet tall, symbolizing the temple’s enduring culture.
