Batu Caves- Murugan

Batu caves is a Murugan Temple in KL-Malaysia. This is the place where that billa Song was shot.



The Murugan was so huge, with such grace in his face. The statue was so beatifully made, that you will like to see him for long time.Hats off to the sculptures, a extra-ordinary work.




Murugan with the hill backdrop was a awesome view, that nobody will ignore.



The Murugan Sanidhi is in the hill top, you should climb approximately 400 steps to see him, it was actuall a difficult climb for me.
On top, you have small shops selling the murugan statue and other souviniers.

There is the batu murugan in the cave, glowing. There is again a staircase with 20 to 30 steps, on climbing you can see Murugan with valli and theivannai. From there you can see the sky above you, through a huge hole in the hill.




Near the cave is a Venkatachalapathi temple and a huge hanuman statue.

The Batu caves is approximately 20-30 min travel from KL-sentral. You need nearly half a day to spend in this temple, to have a peaceful visit of all temples here and take photos.

I really felt very happy to see My Best Friend Muruga, I am sure you will also feel the same, visiting Batu Murugan.

For Travellers

If you are more passionate about travelling, then do read this post.

I am really lucky because I have travelled a lot before marriage and continuing even after marriage. Here are some of the things to be considered to have a peaceful and enjoyable trip.

Plan the trip with at most care. Initially when you decide for a trip, consult with the people coming with you whether they are really interested to visit that particular place.

Then collect information about the place, find out the places of interest, discuss with people who have already visited the place.

Schedule the trip day vise. Book to and fro tickets.

Look for accommodation in that particular place. There is a website http://www.tripadviser.com/, it has details about all types of hotels in each place, with reviews from public. Find out the best hotel as per our budget and book it online.

With all bookings done, start packing for your trip. Most important things for the trip are travel tickets ,hotel booking details and sufficient cash. Then take your other necessities with ur camera in particular, u see ;pleasant moments should always be captured.

Make a checklist and verify whether all things are taken before you start your trip.

Somethings which should be noted before locking your house is whether gas and other electronic items are switched off.

With your baggage start for a beautiful trip..............

Singapore Flyer

Most of the people know about the London Eye, The biggest wheel, from where people can have a beautiful view of the city.Similarly SIngapore flyer is also a giant wheel, much higher than London eye, from where you can have a breathtaking view of the sky scrapers , ribboned roads, lakes, appartments, play grounds etc.

It is a 35 min ride, per adult ticket is approximately 30S$.We should book the ticket earlier and be there 30 min before ur ride scheduled time.The capsules are large enough to accomodate around 20+ people at a time. After u enter into the capsule, u wont feel that the wheel rotates, beacuse it is very very slow. As u go up, u can see all the sky scraper buildings in singapore city Hall. One side is filled with huge buildings with inter linked roads and other side a calm lake surrounded with greenary. It is an lovely experience........

Go with ur family and enjoy it, it is expensive still a different experience....

Below the wheel, a small garden is created with small water falls..... U can sit there for sometime and have a chat.If u are a fotographer than u have lot of things to be captured..........

There are shops and resturants, so can purchase some thing and return home.........

It is better to take the ride after 5 to see the buildings. If more particular about the lightings than after 8 is suitable............

Never Miss it, if u come to Singapore.. U can have the pride of having a ride in worlds higest wheel.




Creativity

In your free time, u can play with ur photos.There is a software HP photosmart, a superb photo editor that allows you to create scrap books, greeting cards,funny pictures,Calendar, slimline cards etc. Organize ur fotos, with appropriate comments, U can have a wonderful album....
