The 6th-century rock-cut cave temple on Elephanta island is the home of Shiva, one of the great Hindu gods. Elephanta explores this magnificent cave temple, examining its architectural scheme and interpreting the myths of Shiva depicted so forcefully in the extraordinary stone sculptures. The outstanding photographs capture the beauty and magic of the cave. The book includes information on the ongoing efforts to preserve this monument, designated a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1987.
