Walking along the streets of Little India, one animal will definitely catch your eye.

There are murals and sculptures of them, and even roads named after them! (hint: Buffalo Road and Kerbau Road)

Not only are cows worshipped in Hindu temples, Singapore's early Indian immigrants also made a fortune with cattle trading.

Join me in exploring the vibrant colours, sounds and scents of Little India......till the cows come home!
