Little India Fountain, Kuala Lumpur

Little India Fountain, Brickfields (8 July, 2016)


The Little India Fountain (GPS: 3.13006, 101.68417) is a fountain in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. It is located at the junction of Jalan Tun Sambanthan and Jalan Rakyat, in the New Little India of Kuala Lumpur. The 35-foot-tall fountain marks a central point of New Little India, which runs from Jalan Travers in the north to Jalan Tun Sambanthan in the south. The fountain is in the form of Airavata (Sanskrit: ऐरावात; Thai: Erawan เอราวัณ), the mythological transport or vahana (Sanskrit: वाहन) for the Hindu deity Indra. The central column is a two-tier cascading fountain which empties into a pool with bathing elephants, their trunks uplifted.

The Little India Fountain is part of the effort initiated by prime minister Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak to relocated Little India from congested Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman to Brickfields. The launch of New Little India was made with much pomp during the visit of the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, in 2009.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
