Stop at the Gateway of the Gods: A Free Spectacle in Kuala Lumpur

As you step into the entrance plaza of Batu Caves, often referred to as the "lobby," your eyes are immediately drawn to the world's largest statue of Lord Murugan and the vibrantly painted 272 steps leading up. Surrounding you are worshippers, tourists, and lively wild monkeys. This open space feels like the antechamber to a sacred stage. The fact that you can experience such a divine and exotic atmosphere for free is truly remarkable. "What lies ahead?"—With this anticipation in mind, take photos and ascend the stairs step by step.
