Batu Cave Temple, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)

Batu Caves is a series of caves in the limestone hill that takes its name from the Sungai Batu (Stone River) which flows past the hill. One of the most famous and frequently visited Hindu shrines in Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves is a temple dedicated to Lord Murugan, also known as Kartikeya (the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati). This cave has four main attractions: Temple Cave, Cave Villa, Dark Cave, and Ramayana Cave. The most famous cave is the Temple Cave that houses many Hindu Shrines under its High Vaulted Ceiling and is the largest cave in the limestone hill.

History of Batu Caves:

According to its history, the caves were used by the local Temuan people as shelter and in 1860 it was the Chinese settlers that excavated guano for fertilizing their crops. The Limestone hills were recorded by the colonial officials Syers and Naturalist William Hornaday in 1878. The limestone formations are said to be as much as 400 million years old and it was the Vel shaped entrance of the main cave that inspired the Indian trader, K. Thamboosamy Pillai to install the idol of Lord Murugan in the now ‘Temple Cave’ in 1890. At the entrance of the Batu Caves Temple stands the 140 ft. statue of Lord Murugan, the tallest statue in the world dedicated to the deity, erected during the year of 2006. Batu Caves is now one of the major Hindu pilgrimage sites in the world.

Festival of Thaipusam:

The Batu Caves Temple is the main site of the annual Hindu festival of Thaipusam, a festival important to the Tamil population of Asia celebrated since 1892 at this holy site, attracting thousands of visitors every year. During this festival, some devotees choose to pierce their bodies in lieu of an act of penance. Though, the festival often held at the end of the January month, its procession begins one evening before the festival at the Sri Mariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur City Centre. And, the entire celebration of this colorful event lasts for around eight hours.  

Batu Caves is a limestone formation of three major caves and a number of other smaller caves. Formatted around 400 million years ago by limestone formations, these caves are said to be an important religious landmark by the Hindus. This is amongst the top-notch attractions in Malaysia, especially for the Indian tourists.

    I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Malaysia, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the country's rich cultural diversity, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. Thanks and much appreciated @Sagar for providing all the infor
    mation and providing good guidance from start to end of my journey. 1. *Cultural Richness*: Malaysia's unique blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures made for a vibrant and enriching experience. I was particularly impressed by the harmonious coexistence of different cultural traditions, which is evident in the country's festivals, architecture, and cuisine. 2 *Efficient Transport*: Getting around Malaysia was quite convenient. The public transportation system, including trains and buses, was efficient and well-connected. Additionally, ride-hailing services were readily available and affordable. In conclusion, my trip to Malaysia was a memorable trip. I highly recommend Malaysia as a travel destination to anyone looking for a unique and fulfilling travel experience.

    Priyanka Rai

    Bengaluru

    Priyanka's 6 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

    had planned and organized this trip two months in advance, ensuring everything was in place just the way I wanted. However, as the travel dates approached, communication from our travel agent completely dropped off. Despite my repeated calls and follow-ups, they were ignored, leading to a lot of con
    fusion and last-minute uncertainty. We were traveling with an infant and a young child, and still, no rest time was scheduled after a long flight and extended airport wait. When I finally got through to the agent just one day before our departure, I was casually told, “Ma’am, everything can be customized once you reach there.” This added to the anxiety and made things more difficult. There was also poor clarity on payments. After a WhatsApp message a month prior, there was no further communication or confirmation. Naveen from Kingsman Travel was at least somewhat responsive, but Bhavay Garg, who took over as the SPOC, was extremely rude and unprofessional. His responses were arrogant, and there was no support from his side whatsoever. While we managed Kuala Lumpur somehow, the coordination post that was disappointing. That said, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the agents and drivers assigned in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi. Their professionalism, cooperation, and understanding—especially around flight delays and unpredictable weather—made a real difference. Kudos to them for their hospitality and support. Langkawi was awesome and the travel agent assigned in Langkawi. His hospitality was absolutely great.

    FAQ's of Kuala Lumpur

    Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    What is the dress code for visiting the temple?

     

    To pay respect to the place of worship as well as the worshippers, one must wear decent clothes in the temple premises. One must wear a sarong and a sash also.

    Can I wear shorts to Batu Caves?

    Since Batu Caves is a place of worship, it is advisable not to wear shorts, short skirts, or even low cut tops.

    What type of monkeys can be found at Batu Caves?

    During a visit to Batu Caves, one can get acquainted with the long-tailed macaques, also referred as Batu Caves monkeys, which are a frequent sight at this temple of Malaysia.   

    Is clicking photographs allowed?

     

    Yes. Tourists are allowed to take pictures.

    Any other things I must know?

    You absolutely cannot bring food with you while climbing the steps as it sets you up for a rather unpleasant date with the monkeys. The caves are a no smoking area and you’re also not allowed to spit. Pets are not allowed at the caves. And in case you feel like answering the call of nature, you better bring your own toilet paper.
