The Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi Temple was built in 1781,(sometimes referred to as simply Sri Poyyatha Temple) is said to be the oldest Hindu Temple in Malaysia.
This 230-year old structure stands at the heart of the old town of Malacca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is located in Malacca Chinatown, specifically in Jalan Tukang Emas, which is part of what many tourists aptly call Harmony Street, because it harbors a number places of worships belonging to different religions — the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism), the Xiang Lin Si Temple (Buddhism), and Kampung Kling Mosque (Islam).
