India has countless places and monuments that have recorded the political, religious and social history of this land. Elephanta and Ellora talk of two places that have enshrined many stories that shape our heritage. The Elephanta Caves narrate stories from mythology, capturing in stone oft-repeated tales, like the descent of the Ganga and the wedding of Shiva and Parvati. The Ellora caves, built between the 5th and 10th centuries, bear testimony to the glorious rule of the Rastrakootas. The caves are actually temples and monasteries carved into the mountain. Considered to be the site of Indraprastha, the legendary capital of the Pandavas, Delhi boasts of a 5000-year old history. The Historic City of Delhi captures moments from the city’s past, taking one through the rise and fall of the many dynasties that came to rule it.
