Explore the Enigmatic Elephanta Caves with DAA Tours
The Elephanta Caves, located on Elephanta Island near Mumbai, Maharashtra, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for their ancient rock-cut temples. Dating back to the 5th–7th century CE, these caves primarily feature Hindu and Buddhist sculptures, with the most famous being the Trimurti sculpture of Lord Shiva, depicting his three forms—Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer. The caves, carved out of solid basalt rock, showcase intricate artwork reflecting the Gupta and Chalukyan architectural styles. Visitors can reach the island via a ferry from the Gateway of India, making it a popular historical and cultural attraction. Due to weathering and human activity, conservation efforts are ongoing to preserve the site’s rich heritage.
