God Ganesh always blessed and must visit place in Kuala Lumpur. God can give more strength
Beautiful divine temple of Lord Ganapathy, a must visit in Kuala Lumpur. The temple name came from the early days when lawyers and judges, stop by to get blessing before heading to nearby court.
There are quite a lot of people if you are going on a public holiday or during one of the temple's festival dates. Going up the hill with a car will easily be stuck in the jam.
Very Popular and Powerful temple in KL city.
Every day decorated with wonderful big Garlands.
I always feel very peaceful and internally very grateful each time I visit this temple. Very well managed and I do truly appreciate all those volunteers in this temple. They are hardworking and very efficient in carrying out their tasks. Hope all of us can visit this temple regularly and seek Kottumalai Pillayar's blessing.
Thank you
Actually, Court Hill Sri Ganesar Temple is very nice because of the renovation in 2021. I saw a lot of different forms of Ganesha. Om GAM GANAPATIYE NAMAHA!
On Sunday we was in d temple. Very very blessing n joyful with ganesha but I was very disappointed with one volunteer devotee who just accused, shouted n raise his shoulder to fight with my friend. Very very upset n he was very rude to d priest too. This temple is very close to many people heart. We are cming from another country but y treat people at d santum like this. Looks like he orders people around n bostful. Very annoying. I hope management should look into this matter & get back to us. I really want yo feedback to d management. Pls call
Amazing temple with rich history. Never fails to lift up the spirit of one once visited the temple.
Lord Ganesha being my Savior over decades, I can’t imagine visiting KL without paying a visit to this temple. Very very powerful deity and if you are sincere in your prayers to him, all your prayers are always blessed by this great deity. Trust him and step forward, you will be sure that even if you encounter any problems, it will all be sorted out by your utmost faith on this deity.
Just normal.
No such positive vibes as mentioned by others.
Human might say +vibes due new/never been to meditation world (human busy in Maya world they felt + vibes)
Define + vibes (real Vs Maya)
God love simplicity not Grand.
This very old temple is Grand now
As a tourist I must say, it is definitely a place to go and see. It has a very different atmosphere. The moments we came across when we went were the most different moments we witnessed.
What to say… it’s God’s space
Beautiful, Devine, mesmerising, always powerful - feeling blessed. No photos needed. Pls go personally to feel, witness and Pray
It's a wonderful Hindu temple where the main God is Vinayaka / Ganesha. They open as early as 3: 30 am and close between 8-9 PM.
The poojas are performed with full dedication and in detail.
I find very positive vibration whenever I visit this temple. Must visit for all
The divinity in this shrine is well known to the whole world.
Pray wholeheartedly. The deity answers them!
Trust me
This is one the main temple of Malaysia. Known as one of the powerful Ganesha temple. Situated at corner but built in grand manner. The best part is because of the location in the corner and small scale, easily accessible to devotee.the vibuthi and sandal paste is super Fragrant and usually kept in the entrance. Those devotee who is in rush and going through rat race can just stop by the entrance, pray and have the darshan of lord Ganesha.
So powerful Swami. 108 sangabisegam is done daily. We can offer flowers and fruits to Swami. So peaceful and positive vibes.
A place of Worship and devotion for Hindus and those of Non-Hindus are welcome to come and get Blessing from God.
There is something reassuring about this particular temple. I think of prayer as something intensely personal, a way of reaching my hands out towards my maker. I recite some holy chants my parents taught me as a child. There is something reassuring about those ancient words, hallowed by use and repetition over thousands of years. Miracles do happen if you believe
Kortumalai Pillayar Temple.
This holy site is considered one of the foremost Hindu temples in Malaysia. In 1897, an Indian gardener started a shrine for Lord Ganesha in an orchard of a British official's residence. Wagner Durai, as he was popularly known initially served in Malaya as a senior police official, and later as a lawyer. As the shrine started becoming more popular with its surrounding inhabitants, the Indian gardener decided to install a bell to announce auspicious timings. The sound emitting from the bell annoyed Wagner. He boldly informed his worker to remove the bells, or he would have to demolish the shrine. As soon as he had uttered this sentence, he had become paralysed. Soon after, the gardener had a dream in which Lord Ganesha instructed him to conduct a prayer for Wagner Durai and smear vibuthi (holy ash) onto Wagner's legs and hands. The gardener did as he was instructed, and Wagner soon recovered. Wagner subsequently started praying at this benevolent shrine and contributed towards the construction of the temple.
The temple is built on a sloping ‘moola muchandi’
(3 adjoining corners) thereby making it extremely powerful. Moreover this is the only temple in the world that conducts ‘sankha puja’ (conch shell puja) twice daily throughout the year. This propitious puja was initiated in the year 1939 at this temple. The twisting formation of a ‘sankhu’ enables tirtham (holy scented water) to flow spirally before bathing Lord Ganesha. As the ‘tirtham’ is infused with the chanting of Hindu mantras, together with the hydraulic push through the ‘sankhu’, this facilitates the potency of this ceremony. The conch-shell is said to be the abode of ‘devas’ (celestial beings). Therefore ‘sankha puja’ is considered most auspicious in Hindu rituals, and will promote the health, wealth and happiness of its participants. The glory of this temple is further enhanced by the gold 'garba graham' (entrance) at the main sanctum. Gold has the highest spiritual vibration according to Hindu scriptures, therefore this metal is used to channel 'shakti' (divine energy).
The temple had acquired its name, Court Hill Ganesar as the previous high court was adjacent to the temple. Most lawyers who had represented clients at this court would pray at this temple for a favourable outcome. If the verdict was favourable, the lawyers would contribute towards the upkeep of the temple in gratitude.
