Perhaps no cave at Batu is more spectacularly over-embellished and enjoyable to visit than the Ramayana Cave, which boasts gaudy dioramas of the Indian epic Ramayana. Near the entrance, look for the giant statue of Kumbhakarna, brother of Ravana and a deep sleeper (he once snoozed for six months). At the top of the towering cave interior is a shrine to a naturally occurring linga. This phallic-like stalagmite is a symbol of Shiva.
