Opis:
The Batu Caves are a complex of limestone caves near Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The caves are one of the country’s biggest tourist attractions and a place of pilgrimage for Tamil Hindus.
The Batu Caves are located within a high limestone outcropping. A colossal gold-painted statue of Murugan - made from reinforced concrete and 140 feet in height - stands near the base of a flight of 272 steps. As visitors climb the steps, they are frequently accosted by macaques begging aggressively for food. At the top of the steps is the entrance to the largest cave, called Cathedral Cave or Temple Cave. Within it is the largest of several temples on the site.
