Description
Elephanta explores the ancient rock-cut cave temples on an island in Mumbai harbour, carved centuries ago in honour of Shiva and famed for the magnificent Trimurti, a colossal three-faced sculpture of the god. The story highlights how these carvings, created more than 1,300 years ago, preserved episodes from Shiva’s many forms despite time, vandalism, and invading armies.
The cover is colorful and visually striking, featuring classic Amar Chitra Katha historical artwork with noticeable creases and some fading that reflect the book’s age and handling.
