History
History
The need for a place of worship for Hindus in Kangar was first mooted in
1965 by a group of devotees. These seven individuals who are the founders
of this temple were the late M.K Govindasamy, the late M. Ramasamy, the late
S. Sathasivam, the late P. Sababathi, the late V Govindasamy Naidu, the late
KG Rao and Sri M Alagumalai. The first meeting was held on 3rd June 1965 at
8 pm in the house of the late S. Sadasivam in Arau, Perlis. In this meeting, it
was decided to build a temple in Kangar, the state capital of Perlis since there
was no temple there. This was the first instance where the initiation of a
temple was first planned.
On 2nd. July 1965, the first general gathering of all Indians was held in the
Perlis Indian Association premises and Dr. R. Sivasambathan chaired the
meeting. A committee was formed for this noble project. However, Dr. R
Sivasambanthan was transferred to Penang shortly after the formation of the
committee and the late Mr. V.K Govindasamy Naidu was appointed as the
chairman of the committee to continue this project. The temple was
registered as Sri Subramaniaswamy Devasthanam.
At this juncture, Mr. S.P.L.P Palaniappa Chettiar donated a piece of land for
this project. Since the land was not suitable for the construction of a temple,
he decided to fully sponsor the Moolamoorthi – Sri ARUMUGASWAMY, Sri.
VALLI, Sri DHEVAYANAI, Mayil Vaghanam and the Pali Peedam from Tamil
Nadu, INDIA. He also gave a teak wood framed photo of Lord
THANDAYUTHABANI which was used by his ancestors in BURMA, which was
around 80 years old at that time.
The committee approached the Perlis state Menteri Besar, the late YAB Dato’
Sheikh Ahmad b. Mohd. Hashim for assistance and the present site where the
temple is located was given to the temple as it was a state land. Financial
assistance was also given by the Federal Government totaling RM 25,000.00.
All of this was made possible by the generous help which was given by the
late YAB Dato’ Sheikh Ahmad. This piece of mangrove swamp was cleared
and filled with rocks and earth from the nearby hill and river by the Kangar
and Arau Indians.
On 11th. July 1968, the foundation stone was laid down for the construction
of this temple by the late Tun V.T Sambanthan. Still, for the completion of the
temple there was insufficient fund. The Menteri Besar was once more
approached, who again arranged state fund of another RM 15,000.00.
Together with donations from all over the country, the dream temple had
become a reality.
