Elephanta Island, Day 69

While in Mumbai I took a day trip to Elephanta Island, it is a small island about a 1 hour boat ride from Mumbai with many cave temples.

The boat trip to Elephanta Island,



Some of the many monkeys on the island,


 The cave temples,


A statue of Sadhashiva, this statue as well as many of the following ones are around 6 meters tall,



 

 


 A mother and child on the boat trip back to Mumbai,

  1. Georgia is quite entranced with the monkeys. Also the cows. She's also pretty interested in the hindi script.

    She read all of your entries on India and did a great job with attempting to sound out the foreign words.
