a tribute to indian culture

ppl all over the world come to malysia to experiance the 272 concrete steps of batu caves. which suprisingly used to be wooden steps. the experiance was a cultural blast. the stairs were generally smaller then our average steps since the steps are usually used barefooted, thus explaining the size of a smaller steps also taking notice of asian peoples foot size which are usually smaller.

The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside india, dedicated to Lord murugan. It is the focal point of Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia.

The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. Some of the cave entrances were used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people (a tribe of orang asli ).

At batu caves u can also see a few torana’s but its mostly the handmade ones usually by banana trees and there leaves just tangled on ropes forming a religious handmade torana.
