This was what greeted me when I arrived at the Elephanta Caves - a handsome buffalo. I have always been fascinated with their horns - it's so primitive yet it's regal somewhat.
They were roaming free on the island, probably belonging to the islanders there, who were paddling wares all the way up the caves. Although the caves are quite worn by erosion, we could still find some good carvings left, like the one on Lord Ganesha - the outline is quite clear.
The place was very crowded, and almost impossible to take a leisurely walk uphill, but we made it there.
