Although we only had a short time for 'tourist' days we did manage a trip to Elephanta Island and it's caves. There are two groups of caves on the island, a large group of 5 Hindu caves and a smaller group of 2 Buddhist caves. The former caves depict rock cut stone sculptures, belonging to the Shaiva Hindu sect, dedicated to god Shiva. This was a great day and a wonderful sight - well worth the 2hr round boat trip. Watch out for the monkeys however if you are planning a trip...
