Largest Golden Hindu Tamil statue

#tripxplorproject I explored Batu Caves, a mesmerizing geological marvel in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia, boasting a complex of caves and Hindu temples dedicated to Murugan. Its ancient limestone origins date back 400 million years, and it's revered as one of the most significant Hindu shrines outside India. Founded in 1890 by K. Thamboosamy Pillai, the site has been a focal point for religious worship and cultural celebrations, particularly during the annual Thaipusam festival. Despite enduring historical events, such as the 1942 Communist Party meeting, Batu Caves remains resilient, symbolizing the enduring spirit of faith and devotion. In 2018, its 272 steps underwent a vibrant makeover, sparking a debate over conservation and modernization. Nevertheless, Batu Caves continues to stand as a testament to the convergence of nature, spirituality, and human endeavor, inviting all to experience its profound beauty and historical significance.
