Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur (16 Sept 2010)

the mighty Lord Murugan

Remembered the shooting expedition I mentioned on Dataran Merdeka and Tugu Negara?

Here's the continuation of the expedition to Batu Caves. Batu Caves is located near to the area of Gombak which one can reached via KTM komuter and stopped at the Batu Caves station. It is a holy place for the Hindus and especially crowded during Thaipusam. It is also a temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. To go up to the caves, there are over 270 steps to ascend and you will be rewarded with the amazing scenary of temples inside a temple or caves.

Along the way, one can see the place is not only crowded with tourists but with monkeys as well.
