Nestled amid the vibrant chaos of Malaysia’s bustling cityscape lies the awe-inspiring Batu Caves, a magnificent limestone hill adorned with a series of cave temples. A mere 13 kilometres north of Kuala Lumpur, these caves have evolved into one of Malaysia’s most cherished landmarks. Guarded by the towering, iconic golden statue of Lord Murugan, visitors are immediately captivated even before ascending the 272 vividly coloured steps leading to the cavernous sanctuaries. Each cavern brims with intricate Hindu shrines, with Cathedral Cave—boasting a 100-metre-high ceiling—stealing the show. This cultural and spiritual gem offers a unique glimpse into Malaysia's diverse heritage.
