JOHOR BARU: When some 35,000 devotees, including those from Japan and Singapore, visit the Sri Maha Siva Muniswaran temple this Thaipusam, they will be greeted with a newly renovated “golden” interior.

The interior of the temple – known as the Batu Caves of Johor – was recently installed with gold-plated tiles as well as gold chrome plates for its ceiling.
