Batu Caves?

been there many many years ago, stupid monkeys on that staircase frightened mrs Storm to death

so actually did not see anything properly (nor was there any religious inkling on our part - but the natural part was interesting)

It is Batu Caves in Malaysia.

Your question please Storm

[anfield5]

R U there storm?

[Storm]

yes I am...I don't have a question though


edit:

identify -


ps: no peeking at the link as I have not bothered changing it but linked it directly

I have seen this... somewhere, and by the size and splendor of it I should be able to place it. I am guessing it is in India, judging by the design and what looks like white marble, have to think some more

[Storm]

you are close (marble + India) but that architecture is not exactly the classic Indian/Moghul designs. I have been to this place and it does look magnificient but it was closed for renovations that day

looking for a name and/or location (which should be easier, infact the name is the easiest to "guess" )

[gadjo_dilo]

but that architecture is not exactly the classic Indian/Moghul designs.

Perhaps the architect was a sahib.
It doesn't look like a "mandir" anyway. Maybe it's a governmental building.....

[Storm]

right on both counts.

If it is India I am guessing Victorian? Maybe it is a monument to Queen Victoria?

[Storm]

maybe I should give it to you.
It is indeed the "Victoria Memorial Hall" built after Queen Victoria died. Location?
