Cultural Crossroads: Discovering Nagore Dargah on Day 2 at Telok Ayer
#springitinerary
On Day 2 of my Singapore citywalk through Telok Ayer, I came across the striking Nagore Dargah, a national monument that stands as a testament to the city’s multicultural roots. This beautiful building, with its unique blend of Indian-Muslim and classical European architecture, features elegant arched windows, intricate lattice work, and graceful domes.
Built in the early 1800s by Chulia Indian Muslims, it once served as a place of worship and a landmark for Tamil Muslim traders. Today, it’s a symbol of harmony and heritage. A quiet yet powerful reminder of Singapore’s diverse history, Nagore Dargah is a must-visit cultural gem.
