Synopsis
The sixth century rock-cut cave temple on Elephanta island in the middle of Mumbai Harbour is the home of Shiva, the greatest of all the Hindu gods. Elephanta leads you through this magnificent cave temple, supplying an historical background, examining its overall architectural structure and interpreting the myths of Shiva that are depicted in the extraordinary stone sculptures. This book also contains fascinating accounts of European travellers documenting their discovery of the cave from the seventeenth century onwards, and includes information on the ongoing efforts to preserve this cave that was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987. This book, richly illustrated with approximately 150 colour and thirty black and white illustrations, is excellent value.

Elephanta (India)
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
