A Hindu family visits the holy site of the Batu Caves just outside of Kuala Lumpur. Behind them in the distance is a giant, and I mean giant, golden statue of Lord Murugan.
Matriarchal Love

This is the grandmother of the bride from the wedding this past weekend. Everyone was so happy she was able to make it to the wedding.
I generally love and appreciate the wisdom of people that have been around longer than me, and it was refreshing to see how far family will go for one another.
