Morning take a sight seeing tour of Bombay,
drive to Gateway of India and from here cruise by motorboat to
Elephanta Caves. A flight of 100 steps takes you to the top of the
hill where it is set. The caves houses large pillars that seem to
hold the ceiling which is made of cross beams. The picturesque
presentation of the 9 marvelous sculptured panels, set on the walls
is awe-inspiring. The most famous of the panels is the Trimurthi, or
triple-headed Shiva, where the God is depicted as the destroyer, the
preserver and the creator. Later in the afternoon cruise back to
Gateway of India. Later visit Prince of Wales Museum, Parliament
House, Marine Drive, Jain Temple, Hanging Gardens, Return back to
the hotel for overnight. |
