Three descriptive essays and numerous fascinating photographs, taken especially for this volume, allow the reader to experience a major monument of Indian art: the sixth century temple cave on Elephanta Island, in Bombay harbor, and its extraordinary stone sculptures. The authors and the photographer capture the atmosphere of the cave and the spirit of the sculptures, which portray the relentless energy and paradoxical power of Shiva, greatest of all Hindu gods. The photographs are particularly successful in revealing the dramatic alternation of light and dark that is so much a part of the beauty of the cave`s interior. Ms. Berkson`s trained and loving eye picks out the subtleties of the main sculptures and humorous details that the visitor might miss even on the site. In the text Wendy O`Flaherty interprets the myths of Shiva depicted in the sculpture; Ms. berkson`s essay supplies historical background and a stylistic analysis; and George Michell examines the overall structure of the cave to show that it is a mandala-like image of the heavenly mountain residence of Shiva and even of the structure of the universe itself. The author as well as the publishers of the work deserve to be congratulated for providing this easily accessible guide to Elephanta.

Elephanta CavesLocated in the Mumbai Harbour, on a small island; the Elephanta Caves are a series of rock-cut caves predominantly dedicated to the Hindu Lord Shiva. Apart from that a few Buddhist stupa mounds can be found over here. Carved out of solid basalt rocks, much of the artwork in the caves are damaged or defaced. Still the 5th to 9th Century caves form an important part of the cultural heritage of India, and find its place in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.It is one of the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the city of Mumbai, being inscribed in 1987. The island can be reached via ferry service from the Gateway of India in South Bombay. Originally named Elefante, for the elephant statues found by the Portuguese; it was greatly damaged by the soldiers who made the island their base. Later some initial restoration efforts were made by the British India officials, and then the Government of India after Independence.About the seriesOut of the 1073 UNESCO World Heritage Sites (as of November 2017), Italy has the maximum number with 53.
