The oldest Hindu temple in Georgetown, Penang is the Sri Mariamman Temple, which was built in 1883. The Goddess Mariamman is a representation of the goddess Parvati, a powerful embodiment of the earth’s natural forces. The Tamil Indians of Southeast Asia - descendants of Indians brought over by the British during their days of empire - venerate Mariamman to this day, calling her their particular protector. In the temple, the Goddess is symbolized with four swans, one of her earthly incarnations.

Peranakan or Nonya cuisine combines Chinese, Malay and other influences into a unique blend. Peranakans are descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Penang, Malacca, Indonesia and Singapore, inter-marrying with local Malays. The old Malay word nonya (also spelled nyonya), a term of respect and affection for women of prominent social standing (part “madame” and part “auntie”), has come to refer to the cuisine of the Perakanans.
