Getting started with the collection:
A Temple Entrance at the Elephanta Caves
attributed to Samuel Bourne, 1870
An inscription in the cave tells the story of Shiva and his consort Parvati playing a dice game near their palace on Mount Kalesh (in the Himalayas). While Parvati looks the other way, Shiva deliberately loses to his wife to make her happy.
