MUMBAI, a major international airport and harbour. The city's rise from the dowry of a Portuguese queen to the country's foremost sea port, commercial centre and producer of maximum films in the world has been nothing short of meteoric. Mumbai's Gothic architecture is embodied in important buildings. magnificent caves of ELEPHANTA (9th to 12th century AD)- contains beautiful relief, sculptures, and a temple to the Hindu god Lord Siva. AJANTA - where the thirty Buddhist caves are cut into the steep face of a deep rock gorge sit in silent contemplation. Feel the aura and power left behind by the Buddhist monks living 2000 years ago. Compare these with the dynamism and energy radiating from the huge Hindu caves in nearby ELLORA. Imagine the workers carving a way at solid rock on the hillside to form the thirty-four Hindu, Buddhist and Jain Caves with the stories of their religions and beliefs etched onto the walls.
