Singapore: Colonial Singapore

Little India began to grow in the 1880s, where it centered (and remains today) on Serangoon Road. Here: the entrance to the Sri Srinivasa Perumal temple, on Serangoon Road.  There's a nearby river also called Serangoon, but the ultimate origin of that name is unclear.  One theory: combine and compress sa, short for satu, "one" in Malay, with burong ranggong, a bird found in nearby marshes.
