The V.T.M. Chettiar Temple is a major Hindu temple in Balik Pulau. It is located on the road leading towards Sungai Pinang. I came across it when I was in Balik Pulau, and decided to document it for AsiaExplorers and Penang Travel Tips, although the information available about it is limited. The V.T.M Chettiar Temple has a central gopuram with ornate sculptures, and a gateway with carvings on the pediment.
