The grandness of the caves with its magnificent temples and statues always become the focus of our attention. We often don’t notice the small structures – like the tiny Kalasams set against the beautiful limestone backdrop with pigeons visiting daily, saying a little prayer.

Being a Hindu, visiting Batu Caves is mainly for prayers. The beauty of the surroundings always overlooked – with pigeons & monkeys, trees & shrubs, the dripping of rain water from the cave structure, the silence of the cool air in the cave, and the majestic limestone formation made-up of a spectrum of colors like an artist’s palette. Watching a child guided up the glorious stairs, amidst all the natural elements surrounding him, only did I see Batu Caves come alive like a mystical painting.

I have become very drawn to Lord Muruga and wanted to portray Batu Caves’ well-known gold statue, with a touch of my own.
