 Nagore Durgha Shrine - Singapore Singapore - Review of Nagore Durgha Shrine
Although this is a Muslim place of worship, it is not a mosque, but a shrine, built to commemorate a visit to the island by a Muslim holy man of the Chulia people (Muslim merchants and moneylenders from India's Coromandel Coast), who was traveling around Southeast Asia spreading the word of Indian Islam.
The government, upon naming the Nagore Durgha a national monument, claimed it was built sometime in the 1820s; however, Nagoreallauddeen, who is the 15th descendant of the holy man for whom the shrine is named, claims it was built many years before.
According to Nagoreallauddeen, the shrine was first built out of wood and attap (a thatch roof made from a type of palm), and later, in 1815, was rebuilt from limestone, 4 years before the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles.

Built by Southern Indian Muslims and the Chulias from the Coromandel Coast between 1828 - 1830, this shrine was originally known as Shahul Hamid Durgha, in memory of a holy man from Nagore, South India.
The shrine was also known as Masjid Moulana Mohammad Ally and was one of the earliest houses of worship in Singapore.
The shrine has an elaborate facade and like the Masjid Jamae (located in South Bridge Road, a stone’s throw away from the Sri Mariamman Temple), its uniqueness stemmed from its blend of classical motifs of moulded arches from columns, and Indian Muslims motifs.

She is believed to be an incarnation of the goddess Durgha, "The Inaccessible" - a striding warrior-woman manifestation of the Divine Mother Devi-Ma.
One source says that shrines to Durgha are called madh, and GujratiInfo.com says that “…the Shakti cult, which existed during the prehistoric times… had… a ritualistic dance for fertility, wherein an unfertile lady takes a small wooden structure of temple called ‘madh’ on her head and dances in the middle encircled by other ladies.”
The entrance is flanked by two lifesize white marble carvings of Durgha's mount, an Asiatic lion (though some sources say she rides a tiger): both lions are portrayed lying down, the one on the left with his head resting on his paws, and the one on the right with his head raised.
