Hindu temple at Matang/Gunung Serapi

.

The renovated Sri Maha Mariamman temple (believed to be first built more than 136 years ago and due to be re-opened in June 2011). The fine carving in belian sourced
from the surrounding jungle was done by craftsmen from India. This preserves the original design of the temple which remains the only Sri Maha Mariamman temple in the
world to be constructed out of wood. The temple was built for the needs of the plantation workers from India who served in the Matang coffee/tea estate established
around this site.
