My roommate and I visited Elephanta Island a couple of weekends ago... Its about a 45 minute ferry ride from the Gateway of India, a large stone structure that was built to welcome King George V and Queen Mary when they visited India in 1911.

| Entrance to the caves |
 |
| Dancing for Shiva |
 |
| Brama the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. Because of all the pillars in the cave, you could stand at a specific angle and only be able to see one face at a time. |
 |
| Half male half female.. |
 |
| The penis/vagina symbolic imagery... not even kidding. |
 |
| A traditional lunch! |
