The island of Elephanta consists of two hills separated by a narrow valley. The name \"Elephanta\" was derived from a large stone elephant that once stood on the island. The main attraction is the Great Cave, a massive rock-cut temple oriented to the north, resembling a nuptial hall called a chaori. The primary entrance also faces north, leading into a cavernous hall supported by substantial columns. The book offers a comprehensive description, complemented by appended notes at the end. These rock-temples, believed to have been carved between the 4th and 7th centuries AD, are often attributed to an early Kalacuri king's reign in the Konkan region during the third quarter of the 6th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyan Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46194951618711,"sku":"9788121279390","price":182.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788121279390.webp?v=1769299467","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-rock-temples-of-elephanta-or-gharapuri-9788121279390","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
