Located in Western India, the Elephanta Caves are found on Elephanta Island, also known as Gharapuri Island, distinguished by two hills separated by a narrow valley. Scattered across the tiny island are numerous ancient archaeological artifacts, perpetuating its deep cultural history. These relics shed light on inhabitance dating back to the second century BC. Built between the mid-5th and 6th centuries AD, the well-known Elephanta Caves feature stone-cut architecture. The prime cave among them, Cave 1, extends 39 meters from the front entrance to the back, closely mirroring the Dumar Lena cave at Ellora in India in design. The main body of the cave, which excludes the terraces on the three open sides and the access path at the back, is a 27-meter square and stands on row of six pillars each side. The Elephanta Caves are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
