World Heritage India-Xiangdao Grottoes Elephanta Caves Mumbai as a whole is seriously empty, AQI is moderately polluted, just stepped on Xiangdao, still full of garbage, 1.4 billion people are really difficult to control. But climbing up to the grotto, seeing the giant statues inside, all reliefs of Shiva, and Linga (genital organs), you know how much people worshiped Shiva at that time. Although there are three Hindu gods, Brahma is relatively uneatable in India (the most popular in Southeast Asia and Taiwan is our Erawan Buddha), and the other two main gods are Shiva and Shushi slave, one master palm destruction, and one master palm maintenance, so Shiva pie, The face will be painted with paint (ash), and three lines will be smeared on the forehead. The Shiniuists will draw three lines (relatively neat) on the forehead. The believers in the Indian temple will be very rigorous. In addition to kneeling and worshiping, the more amazing is the very powerful dance. (Indians have dance DNA) Thank you for my super powerful travel companion, Anne God, we ate in India for a week, except for the spicy days ago, now quite adapting to local food (mainly because Anne is also very good at pointing), looking forward to the next stop :) #elephantaisland #mumbai #worldheritage #shiva #linga

Mumbai Impression Elephant Island Elephanta Caves2019 February 24, Qing 34 degrees Elephant Island is an island in the harbor of Mumbai, located 11 kilometers northeast of India Gate, is a United Nations World Heritage Site. The area is known as more than ten square kilometers, and it is famous for the cave temples and statues of the Hindu gods built in the 2nd century. Half of the grottoes here are Hindu, the other half are Buddhist, and Buddhism is not open at present. There are only five open grottoes in Hinduism, and can one and a half be barely counted for a year? The monuments, which were destroyed by the Portuguese army, are now the most famous and well-preserved temple of Shiva, the most famous statue of the 6-meter-high Trimurti, one of the immortal masterpieces of Indian carving and even world carving. Other basic damage, nothing to see, I feel, compared with the Longmen Grottoes Yungang Grottoes, the protection measures are too much. Arrival method: take a ferry to the pier in front of the Indian door, the voyage is about an hour, 200 rupees to and from ／ people. The outbound ferry time is 9:00-14:30 and the return ferry time is 12:30-18:00. Opening hours: Open all year round, not open on Monday. Tickets: 600 rupees per person. The camera charges another 25 rupees, and the mobile phone is free. To go to Aveda and Elora Grottoes, this grotto can be ignored, the price is really not high.

Xiangdao is relatively small, and fewer people come to the grottoes, but I like it

The day trip group reported is generally quite good

Naturally formed products are very interesting.

A grotto art with a unique culture reflects the wisdom of ancient architecture
