Arulmigu Sri Ayyappaswamy Devasthanam, Batu Caves, Malaysia, has been a great devotional platform or more than 50,000 Ayyappan Devotees over the past thirty years. It is well known for its pularity of being the one and only Ayyappan temple inside the cave in South East Asia. Devotee's believe that this temple possesses powerful 18 Holly Steps next to Sabarimalai. Every year more than 2,000 devoteees join this temple's Irumudi Yathra that has become a second choice for those who are unable to join the Sabarimalai Irumudi Yathra in India. Although, the presiding deity is LORD AYYAPPA the temple has all the deities in there. Besides the Ayyappaswamy Yathara Festival, the temple also celebrates all Hindu festivals.

This Ayyappaswamy Temple has been refurbished few times but not to the optimum due to financial constrains. Adding to the strain, the temple faces more problems from the natural causes like flood due to improper drainage system, natural water which penetrates from the ground, and many other minor obstacles. Although there are many difficult, yet the temple has never failed to perform its duty on Hinduism. Youths are this temple pillars. With the AIM of providing a well cultured decent worshiping place, and for the betterment of the temple, the management decided to Re-construct the temple. This is an additional effort since the devotees believe that this temple plays a significant role in molding better Hindus and infuture it would be a better place to create a better society, morale, culture and Hinduism.
