10 YEAR ITCH
INDIA---Taking time to leisurely explore the carvings and sculptures of Elephanta caves on Elephanta Island will transport you to a world vastly different from the frenetic hum of nearby Mumbai. Located just 10 kilometres to the east of the city in Mumbai Harbor, Elephanta Island (traditionally known as Gharapuri which translates to ‘the city of caves’) is a peaceful retreat of religious significance with a temple dedicated to the Hindu God, Lord Shiva. Cut from solid basalt rock, it is believed that the caves were created between the 5th and 8th centuries but the identity of the architects who actually built them is largely disputed by historians.
