Little India’s streets are named after its 19th-century residents: Dunlop Street, for an European family, Belilios Lane, for cattle importer I.R. Belilios, and Campbell Lane for British soldier Sir Colin Campbell.Little India is a buzzing historic area that shows off the best of Singapore’s Indian community from vibrant culture to incredible shopping.You may not know that Little India once had a racecourse, cattle herders and brick kilns.But while these places and people are gone, time stands still in pockets of this historic district.Olden-day trades sit next to newer businesses: flower-garland vendors, modern eateries, boutique hotels, as well as arts groups.In the 1840s, Europeans lived here mainly for the racecourse, where they met and mingled.When cattle trading took root, it became a mostly Indian trade as traders hired Indian migrant workers. Certain goods and services took off, and mosques and Hindu temples were built.Little India today is one of Singapore’s most vibrant districts. As you walk down Serangoon Road and neighbouring streets, explore their mix of Hindu and Chinese temples, mosques and churches.At Little India Arcade, pick up knick-knacks, costume jewellery and souvenirs, such as Indian sweets from Moghul Sweet Shop.Tekka Centre is Singapore’s largest indoor ‘wet’ market, selling an incredible array of produce and hard-to-find ingredients.
