vishnu
according to charles collins, the significance of the elephanta caves is better understood by studying them in context of ancient and early medieval hindu literature, as well as in the context of other buddhist, hindu and jain cave temples on the subcontinent. the historic elephanta artwork was inspired by the mythology, concepts and spiritual ideas found in the vedic texts on rudra and later shiva, the epics, the puranas and the pashupata shaivism literature corpus of hinduism composed by the 5th-century. the panels reflect the ideas and stories widely accepted and well known to the artists and cave architects of india by about 525 ce. the mythology varies significantly in these texts and has been much distorted by later interpolations, but the elephanta cave panels represent the narrative version most significant in the 6th century. the panels and artwork express through their eclecticism, flux and motion the influence of vedic and post-vedic religious thought on hindu culture in mid 1st millennium ce.
