CAVE VILLA is located at the main entrance of yet another tourism landmark filled with
history and culture, the Batu Caves.
Batu Caves is a limestone hill, which has a series of caves and cave temples, located
in Gombak district, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its
name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the
name of the nearby village. The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India,
dedicated to God Murugan. It is the focal point of the annual Thaipusam festival in Malaysia
and attracts over more than 1.5 million pilgrims, making it one of the largest gatherings in
history. Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old and discovered by K.
Thamboosamy Pillai, an Indian trader, in the 1800s.
At the base of the hill are two more cave temples, Art Gallery Cave and Museum Cave, both
of which are full of Hindu statues and paintings. This complex was renovated and opened as
the Cave Villa in 2008. Many of the shrines relate the story of Lord Murugan's victory over
the demon Soorapadam. An audio tour is available to visitors.
CAVE VILLA, with a total built-up area of approximately 55,000 sq ft, differs from the usual
out-of-town experience offered by most other recreational attractions due to its location and
accessibility.
CAVE VILLA offers easy and affordable access to visitors across all demographics. It
appeals to the broadest possible audience. Residents and tourists retreat from city life on a
regular basis to enjoy the peaceful and holy ambience.
With a list of interesting attractions, it will definitely be an experience not to be missed.
Coupled with interactive elements incorporated, it will offer a holistic and a natural
paradise.
