Excursion to the Hindu and Chinese temples in Kuala Lumpur

• Excursion to the Hindu and Chinese temples in Kuala Lumpur

In the last post I showed Malaysian landmarks and cities, by the hand of man, even though the country has the wonders created by nature itself. The most famous of them - the temple complex of Batu, consisting of three dozen mountain caves. They are huge and have solid age - about 40 million years. In the nineteenth century, one Indian trader was so impressed by these caves that built next to the world's largest statue of the Hindu god Murugan.

But before you get up in Batu, let's look at the Tian Hou - a large Chinese temple in Malaysia. Despite his young age (35 years), the temple is very popular both in Chinese and tourists alike ...

The temple was erected in honor of the Goddess Tian Hou - heaven mother, patron saint of sailors and fishermen. It is important to note that the structure built according to Feng Shui rules:

stands a kind of "den" Before the temple dedicated to some kind of religious events:

Three Chinese sage Fu, Lu, Shou symbolize family (happiness), prosperity and longevity. Found in all Chinese temples:

In the center of the main hall sits the main goddess, in whose honor the temple was built, and the side two copies:

Note the orange drums at the entrance:

The name of everyone who will donate 100 dollars or more, will appear on the label in a separate cell. It will hang for a year, and it counts as if you prayed a whole year without leaving the building. It is very convenient and inexpensive. Generally, of course, that did not come up for a voluntary taking money from the population:

There is still guessing on sticks. It is necessary to throw a stick several times, without pulling them out of the drum, and then pull out the one that is above the rest:

On the opposite end of the rod indicate the number that corresponds to their separation in the drum:

In it you will find predictions, and they can be quite strange, like the recommendation to change the sexual partner. It is interesting that a number of the registrar and the couple often go here to wonder. Certainly the thirty-five years to some of them fell out something like for example "sexual partner" as soon as the wedding:

So Maya has dropped something strange. She gazes anxiously, as if on paper forecast for the dollar in the second half of 2015 in the Russian Federation:

In the church yard there is a special track of the stones. On it you can go barefoot and massaging heel:

On the other hand street artificial pond with turtles. Despite the lack of fence, they can not even get out because of the low stone:

Indian Quarter:

has always struck colors and range of Indian wreaths. The main thing is not to confuse a wreath for that: there is a birthday, there is a wedding there and the funeral:

India there is already on the way to the Batu Caves:

In the complex are many caves, but the most beautiful Temple Cave, also called light. To get there, we must overcome the 272 steps:

The rise is not as hard as it seems at first glance, to the same no hurry:

The caves are located 13 kilometers from the city, so the mountain views of the Kuala Lumpur:

Input:

And here is the Light Cave:

Light it is called because of the natural "windows" through which the light falls deep into the mountains. Very beautiful. The holes in the stone rock like sad eyes gazed down on you:

Along the walls of the mass of any naturalistic sculptures on the theme of the life of the faithful Hindus:

In the cave there is a temple:

The priest:

At the highest point of the open sky:

You stand as if in a huge pit:

Here, too, there is a local "shrine" for the faithful:

Security alert to the rule of law:

Above visitors Batu hang huge and dangerous Kamenyuki:

A distinctive feature of India - except, of course, a rich culture and colorful traditions - it's a terrible dirt and debris. All Malaysia is very clean, I noticed it right away. But it is necessary to come to a Hindu temple, as immediately bump into the garbage:

Single story with monkeys. They then brazen as tanks. Gape or something dropped - down the drain:

Take a look at a woman with dishes on the head. I specifically watched the monkey, which in turn followed the woman. As soon as they caught up like a monkey he reached out and put his brazen face directly into the bucket! Right, monkey customs - selectively check all passers-by:
