The Penang Buddhist Association, along Anson Road, was founded by a group of Straits Chinese Buddhists who desired to study Buddhism in its pure form, uncorrupted by elements of Taoism that is prevalent among the local Chinese. The association was founded in 1925. The present structure was completed in 1931 in the late Straits Eclectic style.  The Penang Buddhist Association, Anson Road, Penang. The interior is ornately decorated with polished floor titles, multi-tiered chandeliars, and mother-of-pearl inlaid furnishing. The high-vaulted main hall houses several statues of the various incarnation of Buddha. The housing estate behind the Penang Buddhist Association was developed by the association in the 1930s, hence the roads bear Buddhist names such as Dharma, Deva Pada, Bodhi and Nirvana.
