Elephanta Island
Elephanta Island is one among the islands in Mumbai harbour. It is an important tourist destination for a single day trip and is well known for its cave temples that have been carved from rocks.
The island which was supposed to be the capital of a powerful local kingdom has thickly wooded mango, tamarind and palm trees.
Regular boats ply to the island from the Gate Way of India in Mumbai, about 10 kilometers away.
The trip to the island is a journey back to the times when mysticism and art reigned supreme and the task of carving out statues and caves from monoliths was a blessing, and is a testimony to the skills of our ancestors.
