Shri Sanathana Dharma Aalayam, or also known as Jakarta Murugan Temple is a kovil (Indian Hindu temple) located at Kalideres district of West Jakarta, Indonesia. As planned, it is the first Dravidian (Indian) Hindu temple in Jakarta, as representation of Indian Indonesians who practiced their Indian Hinduism (as opposed to the Native Indonesian Hinduism).[1] [2] The temple is built on an area of 4,000 square meters, and also open to public as a tourist destination.[3] [4] Not only place of worship, there are parks and multipurpose rooms for the public, especially for local residents.[5]
On February 2 the temple was opened to the public.[6]
