The Temple of Fine Arts Malaysia @ Babington Avenue, Penang


What is special about Babington Avenue? It is special because more than 1,000 people viewed its location in Google maps. Dr Abdul Ghani's former house was at Babington Avenue. His house was sold to The Temple of Fine Arts. It is now the Annalakshmi Culinary Arts Centre which provides Indian vegetarian meals FOC. There are no bills to pay and diners donate as much as they wish. It only accepts donations. The menu consists of rice, capati, vegetarian dishes, vegetarian curry, mango lassi, teh tarik, and pulut hitam. These are cooked daily by volunteers.

Red signboard on the right says Annalakshmi. The white icons on red bkgr are an Indian temple and a burning candle.
The gate is left open
The big road leads to a single-storey bungalow after the lawn
This is the Indian vegetarian eatery. It is closed today. There was an Indian mother and her child waiting for pick-up. I waved to her but she didn't wave back.
