Cover from India

I have received cover from India with two postcard, one mini sheet, one FDC and six mint stamps.

This place in thickets of the Sahyadri hills of the Western Ghats is around 45 km from Sirsi, Karnataka. Huge rocks are the center of attraction. There are two temples, temple of Shiva inside a cave, and a Ganesha temple nearby.

The Elephanta caves area network of sculpted caves located on Elephanta Island in Mumbai Harbour. The island, located on an arm of Arabian Sea, consists of two groups of caves  - the first is a large group of Hindu caves, the second, a smaller group of two Buddhist caves. The Hindu caves contain rock-cut stone sculptures, representing Shaiva Hindu sect. The rock-cut architecture of the caves is dated between the 5th and 8th centuries. The caves are hewn from solid basalt rock. The caves were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
