The Tallest Murugan Statue in the World - must visit!
#favouriteitinerary The tallest Murugan statue in the world stands majestically at the entrance of Batu Caves in Malaysia. This golden statue, dedicated to Lord Murugan, the Hindu god of war, rises to an impressive height of 42.7 meters (140 feet), making it a striking landmark and a significant religious symbol.
Unveiled in 2006, the statue took three years to complete, requiring 250 tons of steel, 1,550 cubic meters of concrete, and 300 liters of gold paint imported from Thailand. It serves as the focal point of the annual Thaipusam festival, where thousands of Hindu devotees gather to offer prayers and perform acts of devotion.
The statue’s gleaming gold exterior reflects sunlight, creating a breathtaking sight for pilgrims and tourists alike. This iconic monument is not only a masterpiece of craftsmanship but also a powerful symbol of faith, strength, and resilience.

Kuala Lumpur 1-Day Free Travel Guide
I went to Kuala Lumpur for a few days and visited Batu Caves 🇲🇾. The rainbow steps here are really amazing! The colorful steps are very beautiful 🤩. Batu Caves is a representative attraction in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 📍 and has always been known as one of the most mysterious caves in the world.
It is a limestone cave complex and a Hindu pilgrimage site. The limestone cave complex is located halfway up the jungle. During the Thaipusam Festival in late January and early February every year, devout Hindus carry statues of gods and sing religious hymns as they parade into the cave to worship. A war god is enshrined in front of the scenic area.
The scenery in the cave is unique. You can see the rainbow steps from a distance. They are very dazzling. There are many people in the square, as well as many pigeons 🐦 and monkeys 🐒.
The monkeys 🙉 here will grab tourists or snatch food. The wild monkeys on the mountain suddenly grab water cups. Do not take out snacks during the hike to avoid attracting monkeys to attack.
Attraction recommendation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[Malaysia | Kuala Lumpur] Batu Caves (MURUGAN Statue)
I went to the Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾✨
Entry is free! ! ✨
Badu Caves is a Hindu cave with 272 colorful steps and a golden statue, and is a very famous tourist spot! !
There were pigeons in front of the stairs, monkeys all over the stairs, and chickens in the cave 🐒🐦🐓
It may be a little difficult for those who don't like animals.
There was a temple in the cave at the top of the stairs, and it was a very mysterious place! !
It's hard to climb the stairs, but it's a place I want you to visit at least once ☺️👟
Women can't enter the cave if they are exposed, but you can buy a large scarf at the bottom of the stairs! The staff will carefully wrap it around you like a skirt 🧕 Please note that you need to wear the scarf until you go down the stairs!
It's pretty humid inside the cave, so we recommend buying a drink at the shop in front before heading out 🥤
📍Location: Gombak, 68100 Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia
💰Price per person: Free

A day in Batu caves
Located about a 30 min drive from KL central there is a beautiful temple hidden among the caves. You can get all your steps in by climbing the rainbow stairs and also get to see the vibrant wildlife of the caves. Near the main entrance there is also an entrance to a museum which is 5 RM where you can find lots of turtles and fish as well as some parrots and other colourful birds. It’s a very nice day trip and you can easily spend a couple of hours here
