always watching
they smile
at mans’ antics
Taken at Elephanta Caves a ferry ride away from The Gateway of India, Mumbai, the age of this sculpture and its origin is yet to be found according to the guides we met at the caves. This photo represents the Holy Trinity of Hinduism – Brahma (Creator) , Vishnu (Preserver) and Shiva (Destroyer).

Can you believe I was in Mumbai, staying at Colaba and did not visit Elephanta? I blame the heat! By the way, your comment on my WP blog was stuck in spam. Retrieved it. Thanks for visiting 🙂
I am embarrassed to admit that despite being a Mumbai born and bred I’ve never been here.
Oh, I have seen that too, and remember I was very intrigued by that expression on the statue…
Beautiful Capture !
