On my next trip to India I have to make some time out for Mumbai and more importantly to the Kanheri Caves. I can't believe your city has such archaeological riches within it!

India is such a wonderland of art and carvings. If more people knew about the artwork, they'd hop an Air India flight and explore! Thanks for sharing!
