Admire the monumental architecture and calming interior of a long-established Buddhist place of worship at Dharmikarama Burmese Temple. Founded in 1803 by a wealthy member of the city's Bamar community, the building represents the only Burmese Buddhist temple outside Myanmar. Its particularly colorful and ornate exterior, conical tower, and square main hall distinguish it from other Buddhist temples in the country. Beyond its religious significance, it stands as a testament to a community. Learn the history of Malaysia's Burmese population from the set of information panels positioned throughout the temple grounds.

Last visit was 13+ years ago. This temple is much more beautiful than the Thai temple and bigger? Spend more than an hr walking through the various buildings in this site. If you missed the Thai temple after 4pm you can come over to visit till 5.30pm. If have time should walk up the pagoda at the back of the main temple.

A Therawada Budhist temple. Very calm and peaceful place. Beautiful and colourful architecture. Came here to offer food danna to the Monks. Food danna is at 11am. Close at 2pm during the pandemic period.
