"The Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a network of sculpted caves located on Elephanta Island, about 10 kilometers east of Mumbai, India. These ancient rock-cut caves, dating back to the 5th to 7th centuries, are renowned for their magnificent rock art linked to the cult of Shiva. The island, originally known as Gharapuri (the city of caves), is home to shrines, courtyards, and halls with intricately carved sculptures and reliefs."
