Build in 9th century as a spiritual place of
meditation is a UNESCO world heritage site. The entrance resembles the mouth of
a big elephant which is the main reason behind the name Goa Gajah which means
elephant cave.
The main temple is curved on a single big stone and
inside there are idols of God Ganesh and Shiv. The premises have many other
different temples revels Hindu influence dated back in 10th century.
It was built on a hillside and as two small streams met here forming a river
junction, the site was considered sacred and was built for meditation and
prayers.
The premises is dominated by Buddhist is the south and
Shivaite or Lord Shiva across the river. There is also a small pool with three
idols.
