c.1960s Singapore Buddhist Temple Race Course Road Postcard
Description
Front:
Colour view of a Buddhist temple in Singapore, showing a traditional temple complex framed by tall coconut palm trees. The main building features a steeply pitched tiled roof with decorative ridge ornaments and layered eaves in traditional Chinese architectural style. In the foreground, stone steps and paved walkways lead toward the temple entrance. A tall, slender ceremonial pole decorated with multicoloured bands rises prominently against the sky, adding a distinctive vertical element to the scene. The setting reflects a peaceful religious environment within an urban tropical landscape, characteristic of mid-20th-century Singapore.
