Khoo Kongsi and is the largest clan temple-cum house of the Hokkien family. The clan temple complex is a significant tourist attraction.<\/p>\n<p>It sits in a granite-paved square that houses a 19th-century rowhouse, an original association building, and a traditional theatre. The grand majestic Khoo Kongsi clan home had to be demolished and rebuilt from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>However, the newer version is equally lavish and continues to charm visitors from around the globe. It is truly an architectural marvel, with its intricate carvings and ornamental sculptures.<\/p>\n<p>The historic Chinese Opera, which is performed annually during the Chinese New Year, adds to the beauty of the surrounding area. It became the most prominent Penang clan within a short time. To reunite clan men and pay respect to their ancestors, they needed a &#8220;Clan House&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Reach: <\/strong>Keep an eye out for\u00a0buses\u00a0CAT, 301-303, 302, 303, and 401.

This beautiful place of worship is filled with live pit vipers. It was built in the middle of the 19th century in honour of Chor Soo Kong, a Buddhist monk who helped heal people during the Song Dynasty (960-1279).<\/p>\n<p>Legend says that Chor Soo Kong offered refuge to jungle snakes during his lifetime. It is believed that snakes started showing up at the temple in their honour after it was built.<\/p>\n<p>The Penang Snake Temple is a Chinese temple that was built in memory of Chor Soo Kong. This magical temple is located in Bayan Lepas, Southwest Penang. It is the only place where you can see the venomous snakes up from close and enjoy the live experience.<\/p>\n<p>Penang&#8217;s Snake Temple has many notable attractions, including a giant incense burner whose incense is spread throughout the main prayer hall. This incense causes the snakes to fall asleep and prevents them from approaching visitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Reach: <\/strong>You can take a taxi or use the shuttle bus to get to the temple, about 25 minutes from downtown Penang.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timing: <\/strong>6 AM-7 PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The above are the most beautiful &amp; top Hindu temples in Malaysia. The most beautiful aspect of Hindu temples in Malaysia is the colorful costumes of the devotees who pray to their gods. In the recent past, the Islamic community has primarily come to the forefront in public life.
