Nattukottai Chettiar Temple
Location:
Jalan Kebun Bunga, Waterfall Road, Penang, Malaysia
Tel: +60 4 261 6663 (Penang Tourist Centre)
Description:
The Nattukkottai Chettiar Temple (or in full, Nattukkottai Chettiar Thendayuthapani Temple) on Waterfall Road (Jalan Air Terjun) was founded around 1854, after the chettiar community in Penang Street bought the piece of land to build the chettiar quarters, or chettinar. Being astute businessmen and moneylenders, the chettiar build temples that are hallmarks of quality, and are usually well managed as well as financially secure.
