The Sri Pathirakaliamman Temple, also known as the Kali Amman Temple, is a significant Hindu shrine located in Sungai Pinang Besar on Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor), Malaysia. Reconstructed and reopened in 2019 after five years of dedicated efforts, it stands as Malaysia’s only sea-facing Hindu temple. The temple houses a sacred golden statue of Goddess Kali, making it a revered site for devotees.

A notable event at this temple is the annual celebration of Kali’s birthday during the Tamil month of Masi, typically between January and February. This festival attracts devotees from across the country who participate in various rituals, including carrying kavadis and performing acts of penance, similar to the Thaipusam celebrations in Penang and Kuala Lumpur.

Visiting the Sri Pathirakaliamman Temple offers a unique cultural experience, especially during the festival period. The temple’s seaside location and its significance within the local Hindu community make it a noteworthy destination on Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor).
