downtown Singapore. It is primarily occupied by the Esplanade Park, and was the
venue where one of Singapore's largest congregation of satay outlets until their
relocation to Clarke Quay as a result of the construction of a major performance arts
venue, the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, which took its name from this location.

Little India
Little India is the focal point of Singapore's Indian community. Its spice-scented streets
beckon you to a cornucopia of ethnic jewellery, jasmine garlands and silk saris. From
the large Tekka Centre and Little India Arcade to the small provision shops, Little India
is packed with interesting things to discover. During Deepavali (usually between
Oct/Nov), the Indian Festival of Lights, Little India is transformed into a fairyland of gaily
decorated, brightly lit streets bustling with shoppers. Witness also the faith of devotees
during the colourful and ritualistic Thaipusam in Jan/Feb each year.
