What: Theemithi (Fire Walking Festival)
When: November
Where: Sri Mariamman Tample
Website: www.heb.gov.sg

Witness the faith of Hindu devotees as they follow in the footsteps of the goddess Draupadi, who proved her innocence by walking barefoot on burning coals. Celebrations begin at 2am at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple and the fire-walking starts at 3am at the Sri Mariamman Temple. Visitors to the temples are advised to dress respectfully and to remove their shoes at the door.
