By Leave a Comment

Caves always tickle one’s imagination, fear and fascination, but not many caves come close to the mystical appeal of Mumbai caves. These ancient caves were hand-carved cave-shrines from solid stone, depicting images and reliefs of Hindu deities, most particularly of the Lord Shiva. They were hewn by a lost civilization that used to occupy the Elephanta Island. The caves, believed to date back all the way to 600 AD, are also popularly known as Elephanta Caves.
