| 説明 | Three panels are set into the main cave wall. To the left, Shiva and Parvati are joined in a composite and androgynous figure; to the right, an enclosure contain a carving of Shiva as Ardhanarishwara - in which he combines the female and the male aspects in his own self. Then the image of the trimurthi, to its right is a detailed panel depicting Shiva assisting in the descent of the goddess Ganga. A three headed female figure emerges from Shiva. Here Ganga is shown in the centre and her tributaries, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers on either side. These complex male-female, husband-wife relationships are embodied in the immense triple headed bust of Shiva in the middle. The god emerges only partly from the mountain, his fourth head turned unseen into the rock. The monument is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India. Large number of visitors come to Elephanta Island in February for the Elephanta dance festival. This festival of Music and Dance is organised by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC). Over the years, the festival has become a major tourist attraction for Mumbaites as well as for incoming domestic and foreign tourists. [webindia123.com] |
