This is the Sri Aruloli Thirumurugan Hindu temple at the top of the hill in Penang. Most Hindus in Malaysia are the descendants of Tamils brought to Malaya in the early 1800s, so this is in the Dravidian architectural style of the southern tip of India, rather than the Moghul style of Delhi in the north.

Is that elephant really doing what it looks like it's doing?
