Batu Caves, situated just outside of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, is a stunning series of limestone caves that draw in visitors from all over the world. Known for its elaborate Hindu temple complex, the site is marked by an impressive statue of Lord Murugan that stands guard at the entrance. This iconic destination is not only a hit with tourists but also holds deep spiritual significance. It becomes especially vibrant during the Thaipusam festival, a time when thousands of devotees flock here to pay homage and make the journey up the 272 steps to the main cave.
