This is the first time that we are officially joining Frizztext’s A-Z archive photo challenge. This week’s letter is P and as such, my theme is on Prayer and Places of Worship.

We were pretty lucky when we visited Kuala Lumpur – our kind and generous hosts devoted an entire day for us to visit various places of worship. Here are a few photos from that visit.

Batu Caves, Hindu Shrine, Kuala Lumpur (KL) Malaysia

Certain thoughts are prayers.  There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.  ~Victor Hugo, Les Misérables, 1862
