About 15 miles out of town they were given to Hindu pilgrims as a place to pay homage to Lord Murugan.  The scale is amazing, even if the steps up to the entrance do leave you gasping for breath!  Turn up in February to witness Thaipusam, a festival where devotees and penitents carry offerings of milk and honey to the caves.
