The ‘sculpture’ with three faces of ‘Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh’ known as 'Trimurti' appears in Elephanta caves.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The Elephants caves is a ‘World Heritage site’. It is famous for the cave temples with their exquisite statues. The most famous statue is that of Trimurti.
Trimurti is carved on a large monolithic piece of stone which is almost twenty feet tall. It has three faces of Shiva. One is the Trimurti Sadashiva -the three faced Lord, the Nataraja-the Lord of dance, Yogiswara-the Lord of Yoga. The Elephants caves are estimated to have been ‘built’ in 550 CE. They attract ‘tourists’ from all over the ‘world’.
