Elephanta Caves are a collection of cave temples predominantly dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, which have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They are on Elephanta Island, or Gharapuri (literally meaning “the city of caves”), in Mumbai Harbour, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of Mumbai in the Indian state of Mahārāshtra. The caves contain rock-cut stone sculptures, mostly in high relief, that show syncretism of Hindu and Buddhist ideas and iconography. The most famous sculpture is the Trimurti Sadashiva (three-faced Shiva), which is 5.45 metres (17.9 ft) high. The caves date to between the 5th and 9th centuries, and scholars attribute them to various Hindu dynasties. They were named Elefante by the colonial Portuguese who found elephant statues on the caves. The caves are currently maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.
