Elephanta Main Cave: Western Entrance to the Main Hall

Western Entrance to the Main Hall
The image shows a view of the western entrance to the Main Hall of Elephanta Main Cave (Cave 1). Like the other two entrances, it is supported by two central pillars and pilasters at the ends.

At the rear, the western wall of the garbhagriha (inner sanctum) is visible, along with its doorway and a large dvarapala (door keeper) standing on the left side. The view of the dvarapala on the right side is blocked by one of the pillars.
