Batu Caves, one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India
Batu Caves is a series of limestone caves and one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India.
Located about 13 kilometers north of Kuala Lumpur in the Gombak district, they are a must-see day trip from the city. The main highlight of the Batu Caves is the 140-foot-tall Murugan statue, the tallest in the world.
The limestone hill consists of three large cave temples, of which the Museum Cave and the Art Gallery Cave are located at the foot of the hill and house various Hindu sculptures and paintings. The Cathedral or Temple Cave is the largest cave, which is also the most important. There are several other smaller caves such as the Ramayana Cave, the Hanuman Temple, and the Dark Cave.
