Indian Heritage & Little India Writer — Penang (VisitPenang.com)

Posted by VisitPenang.com

Georgetown, Penang, MalaysiaArticlePenang Indian heritage — Little India, temples, Tamil community, festivals

About this assignment

We're looking for a writer to cover Penang's Indian community and heritage — the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, the Kapitan Keling Mosque, Little India on Lebuh Pasar, the Tamil community around Queen Street, and the festivals (Thaipusam at Nattukkotai Chettiar Temple, Deepavali on Campbell Street). This is a culturally significant area that most travel writing reduces to 'vibrant' and 'colourful' — we want something more careful and specific. A writer with Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam heritage, or significant time spent in these communities, is preferred. We're not looking for an outsider's gaze dressed up as expertise.
