Venue: Nagore Dargah Indian Muslim Heritage CentreSaturday, 4 May | 10:30am - 12pmSunday, 5 May | 10am - 12pmNagore Dargah@Telok Ayer, the Singapore memorial to the Saint of Nagore, was built by the Chulia Muslims – Tamil-speaking Muslims from the Coromandel Coast of India – in the early 19th Century. Over the years, with periodic reclamation, the coastline has moved further south. The memorial too has undergone several attempts at renewing its structure and its unique blend of construction befitting a place of solace and reflection. While not a mosque, the memorial has occasionally served as a place of prayer when neighbouring mosques underwent renovation. In 2011, it became an Indian Muslim Heritage Centre.Programme participants will also get a rare opportunity to visit the roof of the Nagore Dargah.In the early 1900s, it was not common for immigrants and locals to frequent the doctor when one was sick; most made do with OTC medicines for addressing common ailments.

Where was this located? What happened over the years? These questions will be answered by the descendent Mr Adam Shahul Hamid.
