This temple has been in existence at this site (a rubber plantation), for more than a century. In 1990 a community of 30 Indian families living at Jalan Hwi Yoh erected a simple shrine. The shrine comprised of a flat semi-spherical granite stone with inscriptions & a trident placed under an unnamed tree. The stone is now entombed under the statue of Lord Muneeswaran in the present temple. The pipal (Bodhi) tree inside the temple was planted sometimes in 1929 & there were attempts by some to chop the tree down but they failed. In fact misfortune befell the perpetrators. Several villagers who claimed they saw visions of Lord Muneeswaran, then decided to erect a shrine in honour of Lord Muneeswaran.
In 1969 the Hindus who maintained the temple made improvements & installed additional deities namely Ambal, Vinayagar, Murugan, Nagar & Bairavar. In 1980 with the help of Dr. Lau, MP, Serangoon Garden Constituency, the temple was granted a TOL back-dated to 1955. The temple was than officially registered with ROS in 1980.
To keep abreast with the developments around the temple vicinity, in 1995 the Management Committee decided to purchase the land and erect a permanent structure (proper temple at the same site which is about 1500 sq. meters. With the assistance of the MP, the land was purchased from the government on a 30 years lease. With funds collected from our devotees, well-wishers, donors & through other various fund raising projects, the temple was constructed at a cost of $3.5M.
