This print captures the majestic Entrance of Cave at Elephanta in Bombay Presidency, dating back to 1890. The photograph showcases five Hindu caves that date back to the 2nd century and are predominantly dedicated to the revered Hindu god Shiva. These remarkable Elephanta Caves were most likely completed by 550 AD and have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
