Our first stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was the beautiful Batu Caves. The caves are minor attraction compared to the spectacular Lord Murugan statue right outside the entrance.

The 140 ft Golden statue is the world’s tallest Lord Murugan statue and is breathtakingly beautiful. The perfect muse for a photographer, the statue stands facing the beautiful city of Kuala Lumpur.

As we walk up to the entrance of the caves we get a beautiful view of the city of Kuala Lumpur.

Inside the caves is a temple of Lord Murugan. This size of the caves totally took me by surprise. I was expecting the caves to have a maximum height of about 20-30 ft but as you can see in the photos below the caves were enormous.

There is a lot of birds and monkeys around the temple. They seemed to be very comfortable around humans letting people come very close to them.

Next we drove past the city to the administrative capital of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya. This scenic city was built to accommodate all the government offices outside the main city of KL. It boasts of an artificial lake, many bridges and a floating mosque.

We stopped at Putra Square where we saw the Prime Minister’s office and the Putra Mosque

Walking in a little distance we get the beautiful Putra Lake. Right on the opposite side we see the Seri Wawasan Bridge.

To diffentiate different parts of Putajaya, the designers decided to use varying styles of Lampposts. During the short visit I managed to capture a few styes of lampposts.

As we headed back we drove past the Seri Wawasan Bridge. It was nearing late evening and we were headed to our rooms for the night.
