Home to the tallest Lord Murugan statue in the world, Batu Caves is one of Malaysia's top tourists hotspots as well as a sacred landmark for Hindu devotees in the country
At a towering height of 42.7 metres (or 140 feet), the golden statue of Lord Murugan was unveiled in 2006 and is also the second tallest statue of a Hindu deity in the world.
