Batu Caves is a limestone karst hill containing a series of Hindu temple caves roughly 13 km north of KL's centre. The site's centrepiece is the 43-metre golden statue of Lord Murugan guarding 272 rainbow-painted steps that lead to the Cathedral Cave.
The caves have been a place of worship since 1891 when K. Thamboosamy Pillai dedicated them to Lord Murugan. Every January–February, the Thaipusam festival draws over a million pilgrims who carry kavadi offerings up the stairs.
