Batu Caves

Batu Caves is a popular attraction in Selangor which is approximately 13 km North of Kuala Lumpur. Batu or similar to our dialect- means stone cave. It's main attraction is the large statue of Hindu deity of war and victory , commander of the Gods- Lord Murugan and beside it, a 272-step-stairway to lead you to the main cave. If you've been to Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine and climbed the 252 steps on top, then it should be easy peasy.


The statue of Lord Murugan is famous for Pilgrims. 
It's hard not to notice that people going to the top are on bare feet, 
carrying kadivas or offering as their penitential act.



And whew! finally, reached the top

Graceful defined is when you manage to look cool, not a streak of hair out place, no sweat after reaching your goal no matter how small even a 272-step-stairway. But truth of the matter is it's so difficult,  and esp. you'll find it hard to breath in elevation! 

When the will is strong, everything is achievable. Sometimes you have to climb up high to get an excellent view of everything you've been missing below. Ok, #hugots101. Indian deity Gods is so interesting to know, I'm thankful for all the Bollywood movies I've watched with matching full production song and dance numbers! But coming to Batu Caves, I can't help but be awed by people's faith, it was indeed a good stopover!


Happiness & love,
