Penang's Little India formed around the needs of the Indian community that settled here centuries ago, centered on the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Penang. Today, it still serves as a hub for Indian textiles, spices, music, and food. Start at the street end nearest the pin and explore the main thoroughfares, but allow time to duck into the smaller lanes where many shops and eateries are tucked away. An hour will give you a good overview, but you could easily spend an afternoon browsing and trying different foods.
