Elephanta and Salsette, two small neighbouring islands with rock- cut temples, were included.
The celebrated cave of Elephanta, magnificently situ- ated, lies about three-quarters of a mile from the beach.
THE CAVE OF ELEPHANTA.
At the upper end of the principal cave, which is in the form of a cross, is a crowd of figures having in the midst an enormous bust, said to be a representation of the Trimurti, or Hindu Trinity, Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, though later discoveries have ascertained that on
...ly Siva is represented in his various forms, and with his attendants, so that the temple is dedicated to the popular deity of the modem Hindus alone. The illustration of this part of the temple wiU give some idea of the central bust and various figures near it. There are many others, including ELEPHANTA, ELLORA, OTHER TEMPLES 139 a gigantic half-length of Siva with eight arms ; round one of the left arms is a belt composed of human heads, a right hand grasps a sword upUfted to cut down a man, on a block held in the corresponding left hand a snake rises, whilst amongst the singular decorations of the head a human skuU appears, and above are several small figures in distress and pain.
