Covering a cosy area around Lebuh Queen, Lebuh Chulia and Jalan Pasar ( Market Street ), Little India in the city of George Town , Pulau Pinang, is equally as fascinating as neighbouring Chinatown . Like Chinatown , Little India is a great place to visit if you are seeking an interesting shopping experience. All along these streets, you will find shops selling everything Indian – from gorgeous silk, cotton and brocade saree materials to stainless steel tiffin carriers. And the generous number of money changers sprinkled in this area, particularly along Lebuh Chulia, is certainly a convenience.

As you make your way from one interesting shop to the next curio, you'll be entertained by a number of shops blasting Hindi and Tamil music nearly at full blast. Another interesting attraction within Little India is the Sri Mariamman Temple , located on the corner of Lebuh Queen and Lebuh Chulia. You can enjoy your Halal Indian Muslim nasi kandar and spicy Indian food here.
