About this audio guide
This guide to the Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple in Johor Bahru follows Guru Bhagawan Sittar, the chief priest who inherited a humble hut from his father in the early nineteen nineties. It reaches back to the temple's beginnings as a shelter on land from the Sultan of Johor, and forward to a tuk-tuk ride through Bangkok that changed his plans. Best heard standing beneath the chandeliers, near the white marble statues.
