3. Bukit Melawati

The relics of the past, the Altingsburgh Lighthouse, a large rock slab named Batu Hampar, and the Poisoned Well are the highlights of the hillfort Bukit Melawati or Melawati Hill. The hillfort was the administrative centre of the Selangor Sultanate in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Bukit Melawati was constructed by the local Malays during the 16th century. The Dutch captured the fort during the early 18th century. Later on, in the late 18th century, Sultan Ibrahim recaptured the fort with the help of his two brothers, Penggawa Tua and Bendahara Adb. However, the fort was destroyed during the Klang War (also known as the Selangor Civil War).
For those who are interested in the history of Bukit Melawati, there are several remnants, a few leftover cannons and foundation stones at the location. The main highlights attract several curious tourists every year. Moreover, Kuala Selangor Historical Museum is a few steps away from Melawati Hill. The museum displays ancient weapons, collections of relics, artefacts, specimens of old currencies, dioramas, etc.
If you aren’t much interested in historical stuff, let me tell you that Melawati Hill is home to the local long-tailed macaques and silvered leaf monkeys. The silvered leaf monkeys at Melawati Hill are accustomed to human presence but feeding the monkeys is highly discouraged. Another mentionable thing here is that the top of the hill offers an excellent panoramic view of the Straits Of Malacca and a beautiful sunset.

5. Perigi Beracun

Perigi Beracun or the Poisoned Well is a mentionable reason why people visit Bukit Melawati. There’s an interesting history behind this well. People say that the water of the well had been contaminated by a watery solution mixed with irritants, such as latex and bamboo shoots, that causes itchiness.
It was made such to punish the traitors of the sultan. They were dropped into the well and the contaminated water would rise to the height of their chin and cause them great distress. Now, it has been covered with iron grates for health and safety. So, the curious visitors may have a close-range view of the well.

The temple was reconstructed in 2001 in adherence to the ancient Aghamas and Hindu scriptures. Before the reconstruction, all preliminary poojas were carried out.

10 million bricks, 100 tonnes of granite, 20,000 tonnes of steel bars, 25 tonnes of teakwood, 1,500 cubic metres of concrete, and 1.2 million person-hours were needed to construct the temple. It is encircled by a massive decorative wall, and the magnificent entrance is a multi-tiered shrine soaring 74 feet high. The entrance was sculptured with granite frames weighing up to 4 tonnes. It was carved by skilled craftsmen of Mahabalipuram in Tamilnadu, India.
Annually, around 10 important Hindu festivals and auspicious dates are celebrated in the temple. Monthly, festivals like Sanggadahara Chathurthi, Pournami, Amavasai and Pratyangara Homa are observed in Sri Shakti Devasthanam Temple. On a daily basis, poojas are conducted 5 times to ensure the blessings of Mother Shakti Mari Amman upon her devotees.
