Batu Caves is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Kuala Lumpur area. And a series of Hindu temples. The caretakers have been busy restoring sections of the complex and the bright results have started to emerge. Time to take another look.
The entrance plaza, new temple on the left, fresh paint everywhere.
Burst of color details, the top of the plaza temple and the long set of stairs heading to the first cave.
Josef Albers or
Frank Stella would have been approving of the color field scheme.
The place is a series of active temples.
Plenty of gods, also restored to pure freshness.
Inside the ground level temple, new uber-level high relief friezes. Wow.
Proud peacock. Gopuram (tower gate) on the temple in the first cave. Neon and Hindu holy temple, who knew?
An immaculate restoration.
