One of the best-known sculptures is the one that portrays the Maheshmurti –image of Lord Shiva with three heads, which signifies the creator, preserver and destroyer of this universe as per Hindu mythology.

Day 2: Kanheri Caves & North Mumbai
Visit Kanheri Caves. These caves originated from 1st Century B.C. to 9th Century A.D. Most of them are the Buddhist Viharas, which were meant as places of residence, study, and meditation of the monks. A few Chaityas are seen containing rock-cut stupas meant for throng worship. The large number of Viharas obviously prove a orderly way of living of Buddhist monks. This way of living was also connected with many trade centres such as the ports of Sopara, Kalyan, Nasik, Paithan and Ujjain. Kanheri was a successfully developed University centre at that time.
