George Town[1] or Georgetown[2], is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island and has about 220,000 inhabitants, or about 400,000 including the suburbs.
Formerly a municipality and then a city in its own right, since 1976 George Town has been part of the municipality of Penang Island, though the area formerly governed by the city council is still commonly referred to as a city, and is also known as Tanjung (The Cape) in Malay and 喬治市 (Qiáozhì Shì) in Chinese.
The inner city of George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
George Town was founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light, a trader for the British East India Company, as base for the company in the Malay States. He obtained the island of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah and built Fort Cornwallis on the north-eastern corner of the island. The fort became the nexus of a growing trading post and the island's population reached 12,000 by 1804.
The town was built on swampy land that had to be cleared of vegetation, levelled and filled. The original commercial town was laid out between Light Street, Beach Street (then running close to the seashore), Malabar Street (subsequently called Chulia Street) and Pitt Street (now called Masjid Kapitan Keling Street).
The warehouses and godowns extended from Beach Street to the sea. By the 1880s, there were ghauts leading from Beach Street to the wharf and jetties as Beach Street receded inland due to land reclamation. A new waterfront was created at Weld Quay, where commercial buildings sprang up.
The historic commercial centre was segmented into the banking and trading areas related to port activities which included shipping companies, the import and export trade, and the wholesalers who dominate the southern section of Beach Street until now. It has been listed as a World Heritage site since July 2008.[1]
At the turn of the 19th century, the northern section of Beach Street and the adjacent Bishop Street were the high street where the modern European emporium and stores selling imported merchandise were situated.
Among the early foreign companies that located their offices on Beach Street were the Netherlands Trading Society, the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), the Chartered Bank, Boustead & Co., Guthne & Co., Caldbeck & Macgregor, Behn Meyer, Sandilands & Buttery, G.H. Slot and the stores of Pritchard & Co., Whiteaway, Laidlaw & Co., and others. Among the local businesses that were established here during this period were H.M. Nooradin, Tiang Lee & Co., Guan Lee Hin Steamship, Tye Sin Tat, Pinang Sales Room, Koe Guan and others. Penangs first petroleum lamps were installed on this section of Beach Street by Huttenbach & Co..

ХРАМ ШРИ МАРИАММАН (Sri Mariamman Temple. George Town, Pulau Pinang. Malaysia)
ПОДПИШИСЬ! СКУЧНО НЕ БУДЕТ! Нажми на кнопку ПОДПИСАТЬСЯ и на Колокольчик — НАЖМИТЕ КНОПКУ — ЕЩЕ — Hindu Temple Sri Mariamman Temple - Храм Шри Мариамман (Sri Mariamman Temple. George Town, Penang. Malaysia) - индуистский храм Сри Марияман (этот храм известен статуей бога по имени Субраманиам. Этот бог украшен золотом, серебром, изумрудами и другими драгоценными камнями. На некоторые самые известные праздники статую бога провозят по всему городу). Храм расположен между Lebuh Queen и Lebuh Chulia, в компактном районе Маленькой Индии, в Джорджтауне, являющемся яркой общиной, внешнее лицо которой представлено сари, магазинами торгующими ладаном и острой едой на банановых листьях. Храм, построенный в 1833, посвящен индуистскому богу Субраманиаму (Subramaniam). Также известный, как Arulmigu Sri Mahamariamman Temple или храм Королевы Индийской улицы - это самый старейший индуистский храм на Пенанге. Светлые алмазы и драгоценные камни являются частью его фасада, являя типичный пример индуистской архитектуры, представленной южно-индийским стилем Дравид (Dravidian). Храм Шри Мариамман (Sri Mariamman) легко узнать по его шикарному восьмиметровому гопураму - башне, установленной над главными воротами и украшенной статуями, резьбой и декоративными фресками. Это высокая четырехярусная башня, с 38-ю яркими цветными скульптурами воинов, индуистских богов и богинь, и цветочных художественных оформлений, плюс четыре лебедя. Верхушка украшена пятью маленькими каласамами (kalasam), а сотни голубей облюбовали это строение в качестве своего дома. Башня представляет вершину Меру, мифологическую гору, которая поддерживает небеса и царство богов, которое расположено внутри храма. В пределах внутреннего святилища храма Шри Мариамман, под сводчатым куполом высотой в девять метров - находится статуя бога Субраманиама, украшенная золотом, серебром, бриллиантами и изумрудами, и занимающая главенствующее положение, не считая коллекцию из более чем 40 статуй других божеств и грозных львов. Внутренняя часть храма имеет символы девяти планет и знаков Зодиака, вырезанных по дереву на потолке. Фестиваль Тайпусам, отмечаемый на Пенанге, начинается именно здесь, поскольку статуя является отправной точкой церемониальной процессии, ведущей к Jalan Waterfall; в октябре, во время празднеств Виджайядасами (Vijayadasami), главное божество устанавливают на серебряной колеснице и провозят по всем окрестностям города. Когда первые тамильские переселенцы прибыли на Пенанг, они построили храм Шри Мариамман, который в то время был небольшой и простой святыней, ставшей впоследствии для индийских иммигрантов самым важным храмом. В 1933г он был изящно отремонтирован и расширен ремесленниками и скульпторами приехавшими из Индии.
В наши дни, храм обслуживает местную общину, представленную в основном индусами, занимающимися коммерцией, ювелирным делом, ресторанами и содержащие чайные дома. Молитвы (Пуджа) в храме имеют место по утрам (07:30) и вечером (18:30). Часы работы: с 06:30 – 12:00; 16:30 – 23:00
Местоположение: между Lebuh Pasar и Lebuh Chulia
