Bayan Baru Sivan Temple (GPS: 5.31555, 100.28582) is a Hindu temple in Sungai Keluang, Bayan Lepas. It is located on a remnant portion of the Bayan Lepas Main Road now known as Jalan Tokong Ular. The temple was built from 2007 to 2008, with its consecration ceremony or Maha Kumbabishegam held on 1 February 2009. The temple is formally known as Sri Vishwanather Sri Visalatchi Alayam.
I first visited the Bayan Baru Sivan Temple in October 2008, when it was not yet completed. A thatch structure sheltered the gopuram, or sculpture tower. At the entrance is a newly built arch with figures of deities which are momentarily whitewashed. When I returned in 2013, the temple was already completed and functioning.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
