Batu
Caves
During the annual Thaipusam festival, thousands
of kavadi-carrying devotees climb 272 steps up
to the main cavern of Batu Caves to pay homage
to Lord Subramaniam. The limestone walls overgrown
with ferns, loom 20m high with rays of light piercing
from gaps above. Another cavern, the "Art
Gallery", contains colourful images from
Hindu mythology. In the temple grounds, monkeys
roam freely around the souvenir stalls.

was proclaimed here. Today, the world's tallest
flagpole stands on this stretch of green, rising
