Temple of a Thousand Lights | Singapore Vesak Day 2026 | Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple

Temple of a 1000 Lights | Singapore Vesak Day 2026 | Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple Often affectionately called the Temple of a Thousand Lights, the Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple is one of Singapore’s most prominent and visually distinct Buddhist landmarks. Located at 366 Race Course Road (in the vibrant Little India district), it was founded in 1927 by a Thai monk named Venerable Vutthisara. The temple is a fascinating cultural blend—while it is a Theravada Buddhist temple with strong Thai architectural and artistic influences, it is heavily frequented by the local Chinese Mahayana community. #singapore #srilankaramaya #vesakday #vesakday2026 #singaporewalkingtour #thingstodoinsingapore #placestovisitinsingapore
