Mumbai to Elephanta Caves Detailed Vlog | Ferry Ride | Best places to visit in Mumbai | Travel Wow |

Hey everyone, today's vlog is about Elephanta Caves. The Elephanta Caves are a collection of cave temples predominantly dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. They are on Elephanta Island, or Gharapuri (literally "the city of caves"), in Mumbai Harbour, to the east of Mumbai in the Indian state of Maharashtra. In 1987, the restored Elephanta Caves were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Besides the caves, Elephanta Island possesses archaeological remains from as early as the 2nd century BC. The 7-meter-high masterpiece “Sadashiva” dominates the entrance to Cave 1. The sculpture represents three aspects of Shiva: the Creator, the Preserver, and the Destroyer identified, respectively, with Aghora or Bhairava (left half), Taptapurusha or Mahadeva (central full face), and Vamadeva or Uma (right half). Representations of Nataraja, Yogishvara, Andhakasuravadha, Ardhanarishwara, Kalyanasundaramurti, Gangadharamurti, and Ravanaanugrahamurti are also noteworthy for their forms, dimensions, themes, representations, content, alignment and execution.
The property is protected primarily by the Archaeological Survey of India, which also undertakes the management of the Elephanta Caves with the assistance of other departments.
