Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

The limestone Batu Caves just outside Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, the Hindu temples established in 1891 though the caves are 60 to 100 million years old. A [new] statue of Lord Murugan - standing 42 mtrs high- with 272 steps leading up to the upper entrance. There is another cave opening a bit below the upper caves, called the «Dark Cave» [last picture below, there is one wild looking dog in the pic which gives a perspective on the size of the entrance height]. This cave was closed to entry beyond the first few 100 mtrs.. completely dark and full of bats - at least that's what it sounded like - so I got a few photos and retreated. Apparently, the Dark Cave remains mostly unexplored.

When I was taking this photo, just after exiting the Forbidden City gates, there was a firm tap [more like a grip] on my shoulder - a uniformed policemen telling me no I could NOT take any photographs. He was very insistent and rude. I hand to shrug him off. Got my photo a bit later though. LOL!
