Batu Caves, near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Back to travel blog mode (...what the heck, it’s the easiest way out!)
Continuing on cave temples, Malaysia has its very own Hindu Cave Temple, Batu Caves, just outside Kuala Lumpur. These are natural limestone caves unlike the man-made wonders of Ajanta and Ellora. These are taken ages ago in 2007, way before our little terror came into being.

The Batu Caves temple, dedicated to Lord Murugan, is the focal point of the Tamil festival Thaipusam, where people pierce different parts of their body with spears and you name it to prove their devotion or to repay a debt to their god or for whatever reasons. Not for the fainthearted
