Where to find Ramayana Cave
Ramayana Cave is located at the base of Batu Caves hill just left of the main Temple Cave staircase. You’ll spot the entrance by the giant green Hanuman statue (about 15 meters tall). It's hard to miss and just a short walk from the train station or car park.

Inside Ramayana Cave
Storytelling through sculpture and murals
The cave path guides you through scenes from the Ramayana, including the abduction of Sita, Hanuman’s leap to Lanka, and the battle between Rama and Ravana. The statues are large, vivid, and often marked with signs explaining each scene. The highlight for many is the massive Kumbhakarna statue depicted mid-sleep while monkeys try to wake him.
Upper chambers and steep stairs
Toward the back of the cave, steep stone steps lead to a higher chamber. As you climb, you’ll see more displays and get a better look at the cave’s structure. It’s not strenuous, but watch your step, it can be slippery.
Natural lingams and formations
The upper chamber includes a few natural stalagmites that resemble lingams, sacred symbols of Lord Shiva.
Water and cave design features
Some sections use lighting to mimic rivers or waterfalls. It’s not subtle, but it adds to the cave’s theatrical effect and helps distinguish it from the rawer feel of the Temple Cave.
