This picture was taken in Batu Cave, situated in Gombak district, at the north of Kuala Lumpur. It has a series of caves and cave temples. Well, as you can see from this picture, it is the 42.7m high statue of Lord Murugan which was just unveiled last year. It's certainly a must-visit place when you're visiting KL. As I mentioned above, there are cave temples and caves on the limestone hill. In order to get up there, you have to climb exacly 272 steps to access the temple and take a glance over the caves. For your information, Batu Cave serves as the central of Hindu community's yearly celebration - Thaipusam festival. I've been there for duty as a member of Red Crescent Society (known as Red Cross in other countries) for Thaipusam festival 3 months ago. Awesome is what I can say about the festival. The view in the cave is really nice too. This picture was taken after Thaipusam festival, so basically there weren't much people walking up the stairs.
