EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to 19th century Singapore, capturing the majestic Kling Temple in all its glory. Taken by an anonymous European photographer, this image is now part of a private collection. The Kling Temple stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Singapore. It was built by the Klings, who were natives hailing from North India and Bengal. The Klings belonged to the southern Indian kingdom of Kalinga, also known as Calingapatam. Situated on the Coromandel Coast, this temple served as a significant port for trade between Singaporeans and various Asian communities during that era. Its presence symbolizes not only religious devotion but also economic prosperity. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of how Singapore has evolved into the vibrant republic it is today. This print offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century life on Singapore Island when it was still under British colonial rule. Let this image transport you to an era where cultures converged and traditions thrived amidst bustling streets filled with diverse faces from across Asia. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern times, we should celebrate our shared heritage while embracing multiculturalism within our society.
