Batu Caves is one of Malaysia's most famous tourist sites especially for the Thaipusam festival. This attracts up to 800, 000 devotees and spectators; the highlight is seeing devotees in a trance carry kavadi , a metal frame attached to the body. Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. When the caves were in a pristine state before 1860, several of the 18 cave mouths were used by the indigenous Besisi people (also referred to as Orang Asli) as transit shelters when they went out hunting from their jungle hamlets.
