Visit to the 'Elephanta' caves, carved out of solid rock. The pillars and statues are all integral with the caves, carved out of the same solid rock, some 2000 B.C. (?). The journey to the caves went via the Gateway to India, constructed to welcome Queen Victoria to India. Nearby old and new versions of the Taj hotel are also shown. There was a demonstration in support of HIV victims. This was followed by a long boat-ride to the caves. The pictures towards the end represent the rail journey home.
