Tamil Murasu – Sri Mariamman Temple Celebrates Chinese New Year with Senior Citizens

Sri Mariamman Temple hosted a Chinese New Year reunion lunch on February 7 for approximately 100 seniors from four nursing homes—including Sree Narayana Mission—as well as local residents. The event, now in its 24th year, featured Bharatanatyam performances, a lion dance, and a festive meal. Attendees also took part in the traditional Lohei celebration.

Temple President Sekhar Krishnan highlighted the temple’s long‑standing commitment to giving back to the Chinatown business community and to celebrating Singapore’s harmony and multicultural spirit. Volunteers such as Devi Baskaran and Umadevi supported the event by serving food and preparing gift bags for the seniors.

Elders, including Saroja and Susan Hoong, expressed their joy at being part of the inclusive celebration and appreciated the warm, communal atmosphere.
