LORD MURUGAN



The new 42.7m statue of Lord Murugan at the popular Sri Subramaniar temple in Batu Caves was completed two weeks ahead of Thaipusam on Feb 11. The RM2.5mil-statue has entered the Malaysian Book of Records as the tallest statue of a Hindu deity in the country.

“The grand statue, at the foothill of the temple, is made up of 1,550 cubic metres of concrete, 250 tonnes of steel bars and 300 litres of gold paint brought in from Thailand.
