The Elephanta Island Map (Gharapuri). Popular attractions are marked (Cave 1 to Cave 5) and the Cannon Hill. Ferry at the north of the island is the access point from Mumbai city. From the ferry point there is a walkway as well as a toy train to the village's entry point. Beyond this is the trek trail up the hill where the main caves (Cave 1 to Cave 5) are located.
Despite the noisy crowd you may encounter inside main cave in Elephanta , this image of Lord Shiva with his closed eyelids and in a deep contemplating attitude would be the most satisfying piece of art you would ever see in India.Rather this is the highest watermark of medieval Indian art tradition.
