Batu Caves, located just north of Kuala Lumpur in Gombak, Selangor, is one of Malaysia’s most iconic cultural and religious landmarks. The site is a complex of limestone caves and cave temples, the largest and most famous being Temple Cave, which houses several Hindu shrines. The caves themselves are estimated to be around 400 million years old, but their religious significance began in the late 19th century when Indian Tamil immigrants dedicated the site to Lord Murugan, the Hindu god of war. Since then, Batu Caves has become one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage sites outside of India. All photos created with the Nikon Z6 and either the 14-30mm f/4 or 24-70mm f/4 lens.
