Putrajaya was purpose-built in the 1990s to serve as Malaysia’s administrative capital; Batu Caves is an ancient limestone formation repurposed as a Hindu pilgrimage site centered on Thaipusam celebrations.
Conservation
Putrajaya’s lake and park system were engineered as cooling and recreational green space—stay on paths and avoid feeding wildlife; at Batu Caves, respect signage to protect cave formations and temple precincts.
