Sri Maha Karumariamman Muneswarar Temple (GPS: 4.58611, 101.0659), also known as Kaka Kovil, is a Hindu temple in the Falim neighbourhood of Ipoh, Perak. It is located off Jalan Lahat, a short distance from Giant Hypermarket Falim.
According to temple records, Sri Maha Karumariamman Muneswarar dates back to 1969. It is called Kaka Kovil (Kaka's temple) because the present building was built by a Punjabi whose name is Kakaji. Kakaji is said to have had a vision of a lady dressed in a golden saree, who provided him with instruction that led to founding the present temple. The lady is said to be the Hindu goddess Amman, and had appeared to Kakaji under her avatar of Karumariamman.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
