Sri Murugan Paribalana Avai Temple (29 January 2009)
The Sri Murugan Paribalana Avai (GPS: 5.422840, 100.385957), also called the Arulmigu Thirumurugan Koyil Paribalana Avai or Arulmigu Sree Murugan Temple Paribalana Avai, is a Hindu temple in Mak Mandin, Butterworth. It is dedicated to the Hindu deity Murugan, a popular deity among the Tamils and South Indians. Murugan, also written Muruga and even Subramanian ("Subramanian" is different from "Subramaniam", although some people confused these two, and regard Murugan as Subramaniam), is the god of war and patron deity of Tamil Nadu. Among Malaysians, Murugan is best known as the Hindu deity for which Thaipusam is staged annually.
The Sri Murugan Paribalana Avai Temple conducts regular Bharathanatyam Indian classical dance classes. The trainer is Master Sri Balamurugan Kallappan Pillay, who graduated in Indian classical dances from Tanjoore in South India. Classes are given every Sunday from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm.
Updates
The street view of December 2014 showed that the temple has been demolished. I will update on whether it is undergoing rebuild as soon as I saw it again.

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.
