• Elephanta Caves - Elephanta Caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a collection of cave temples predominantly dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. They are located on Elephanta Island, or Gharapuri (literally “the city of caves”) in Mumbai Harbour, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the east of the city of Mumbai in the Indian state of Mahārāshtra. The island, located offshore about 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) west of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port, consists of five Hindu caves and a few Buddhist stupa mounds that date back to the 2nd century BCE, as well as a small group of two Buddhist caves with water tanks.

Located in Western India, the Elephanta Caves are found on Elephanta Island, also known as Gharapuri Island, distinguished by two hills separated by a narrow valley. Scattered across the tiny island are numerous ancient archaeological artifacts, perpetuating its deep cultural history. These relics shed light on inhabitance dating back to the second century BC. Built between the mid-5th and 6th centuries AD, the well-known Elephanta Caves feature stone-cut architecture. The prime cave among them, Cave 1, extends 39 meters from the front entrance to the back, closely mirroring the Dumar Lena cave at Ellora in India in design. The main body of the cave, which excludes the terraces on the three open sides and the access path at the back, is a 27-meter square and stands on row of six pillars each side. The Elephanta Caves are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
