About this audio guide
This guide to the Ramayana Cave - Suyambu Lingam in Kuala Lumpur begins with a limestone cave shaped over four hundred million years, and the Suyambu Lingam at its heart, a self-formed sacred symbol of Lord Shiva that no sculptor touched. You'll hear the Ramayana unfold across the cave's murals and statues, from Rama's exile to Sita's abduction by the ten-headed Ravana to Hanuman's ocean crossing. Look for how the LED lighting changes what the limestone walls seem to become.
