| Place: | Temple Cave |
| Details: | The so-called Temple Cave (actually two enormous caverns joined by a short flight of stairs) sits atop 272 steps populated by scampering macaque monkeys. It's guarded by an impressive, 42.7m golden statue of Lord Murugan, erected in 2006 and said to be the largest in the world. The dome-shaped cavern has been a Hindu shrine since K Thambusamy Pillai, founder of the Sri Mahamariamman Temple in KL, placed a statue of Lord Murugan here in 1890. |
