I can only imagine the beauty of Elephanta then. Right now is is packed with vendors selling trinkets and ungrateful tourists throwing trash all over the place.

Thank you for sharing that

RECALL-As a trainee Cadet, we once took a Cutter Sailing boat one afternoon from 1pm to 6.30 m return all the way to Elephanta Is. from Dufferin Moorings-
with the Capt Suptd Incharge and & his family and 7 of us Cadets ( who had not gone on shore leave)-
It was a spl treat by a kind man to us youth -
The longest Sailing done for me in Mumbai and in 1964/ 65- E;lephanta Is. was a Deserted place . It was nice to read this rgds TR

Hi Sagar:

Thank you for your nice words; Yeah, the entire walk up the big steps, are lined with hawkers selling all kinds of stuff. even the Taj Mahal. I was thinking, really: why would anyone buy the Taj Mahal at Elephanta? Maybe some do.

And interestingly, they did not have any reproductions of the trimurti

Overall, a great trip. Will post more pics about Elephanta soon.
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
You actually watered my mouth !
I still remember Elephanta Caves and its ambiance when had been there with my wife before marriage. I love those wooden & shell articles that they sell on the big steps.
Nice photographs!
Regards.

Hmmmm! yes!
You know, here I do make this on the grill, but then there is lot of stress. In mumbai, I just walk, grab a butta and go on. Life!

sorry, I have not been visiting food sites lately But those kadgi phodiis seem easy enough for me to make with canned Kadgi!

Wishing you all the best,
Arun
