Children interacting with glowing dinoflagellates at a touch table during a preview of Glowing Oceans, Asia's first full-scale living bioluminescence exhibition, at Science Centre Singapore on Oct 27, 2026. The immersive exhibition, which opened to the public on Nov 3 and runs until Jan 3, 2027, allows visitors to experience bioluminescence, the natural phenomenon in which living organisms produce light. It features live dinoflagellates, single-celled marine plankton that emit a blue glow when disturbed. A highlight is the Lagoon, where visitors can step into shallow water wearing protective booties provided on site and watch trails of blue light appear around their feet. Other interactive features include touch tables where visitors can gently swirl the water to trigger the organisms' glow, as well as displays explaining how marine creatures use light to communicate, camouflage themselves and navigate in darkness. The exhibition is open from 10am to 5pm from Tuesday to Sunday, with last entry at 4.15pm. It is closed on Mondays, except public holidays and school holidays. Admission, which includes entry to Science Centre Singapore, costs $7 to $12 for Singaporeans and permanent residents, and $14 to $18 for standard tickets, depending on the ticket type and peak or off-peak period. Visitors should wear comfortable, flat, closed-toe shoes and clothing that can be rolled up, as parts of the exhibition involve water. Suitable for families and visitors interested in marine life and science, the exhibition does not admit children under four, while older children must be accompanied by an adult. Visitors are advised to allow about 45 to 60 minutes for the experience. ST PHOTO: BRIAN TEO

Hindu devotees taking part in the firewalking ritual during the annual Fire Walking Festival at Sri Mariamman Temple on Nov 1, 2026. Also known as Theemithi Thiruvizha, the festival is one of the most significant events in Singapore?s Hindu religious calendar. It sees devotees fulfil religious vows by walking barefoot across a bed of burning embers and hot coals as an act of faith, devotion and thanksgiving to the goddesses Sri Mariamman and Sri Draupathi Amman for wishes granted or blessings received. While some devotees undertake the ritual in fulfilment of vows made in the hope of receiving divine blessings, others participate to express gratitude for prayers answered. Theemithi marks the culmination of a series of religious ceremonies spanning about two-and-a-half months, during which episodes from the Hindu epic Mahabharata are re-enacted and several key rites are performed. The observances centre on the story of Draupadi, whose devotion and trials form an important part of the firewalking tradition. The festival draws large numbers of devotees and spectators to Sri Mariamman Temple each year to witness the culmination of these religious observances. Singapore?s oldest Hindu temple, Sri Mariamman Temple has been the focal point of Theemithi celebrations in Singapore since the mid-19th century. ST PHOTO: BRIAN TEO
