Basking At Batu Caves In Kuala Lumpur

After over-shopping and over-eating, a pilgrimage to Batu Caves is probably the most popular activity for tourists visiting Kuala Lumpur. Sin and then get saved.

Batu caves is a Hindu Tamil shrine, dedicated to Lord Murugan. It's a series of temples nestled in actual caves. The development of the complex began in earnest once wooden steps were installed in 1920.

Main entrance area. The giant statue of Lord Murugan was erected in 2006.


Enjoying the natural environment. 

Side shrine. Divine.
