India in Kuala Lumpur was formerly along Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman until it moved to Brickfields in 2009. The neighbourhood’s main street, Jalan Tun Sambanthan, is full of the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of India. Shops selling aromatic spices sit next to those blasting the latest Bollywood hits. Traditional clothes such as saris along with jewellery, henna tattoos along with the South Indian’s favourite Banana Leaf restaurants.
Beautiful arches stretch along the side of the street while the district bursts with life, colour and soul. A large fountain marks the focal point, and the three-storied Indian Bazaar is a favourite place to find a bargain. After hours, the district lights up and gets bathed in even more colour.
