Lord Murugan Statue, Malaysia
From series “The Most Grandiose Statues and Monuments”
In Malaysia, in the immediate vicinity of the city of Kuala Lumpur, there is the statue of the god Murugan. It's located next to another famous tourist attraction in the region, Batu Caves. Opening of the monument took place in 2006. Its height is 42.7 meters. The monument looks very impressive. About 250 tons of steel and about 1 500 cubic meters of concrete were used to construct the statue. It took 300 liters of the gold paint to decorate the monument.
The statue of god Murugan is the highest religious sculpture in Malaysia. That's the personification of the great Hindu god Murugan. Not far from the statue, there is the most famous Hindu temple of the country, so it's not surprising that these places attract not only curious tourists, but pilgrims.
