Over 400 million years old, these limestones were organically formed, creating what is famously known as Batu Caves today. The temple, which is nestled in the heart of the cave, was built in the year 1920.

Located in Gombak, Selangor, Batu Caves is easily accessible via public transportation. Basking in the beauty of the cave, you will get to enjoy everything from the authentic beauty of its surrounding limestones to the impressive architecture of the temple and its statues.

Famously known for its colourful stairs with 272 steps to be exact, and a beautiful Hindu temple, Batu Caves is a must-visit anytime you find yourself in the area.

One of the most prominent and unique trademarks of Batu Caves has to be the golden statue of the Hindu God, Lord Murugan, which stands proud and tall at the foot of the stairs. Stretching over 140 feet in height, this outstanding sculpture is a proud symbol of the Hindu temple in the caves.
