The temples here are from around AD 450 – 750, however the large stone elephant
(hence the name) collapsed in 1814. Today people come for the 6m high statue of
Sadhashiva – depicting a three-faced Shiva. Lucky that you don’t even have to
walk up all the stairs besides the souvenir stalls, as there is a porter
service who carry you on a chair fixed to two bamboo sticks. I am still not
sure what is more dangerous, being carried up or feeding the feral angry
monkeys on the side of the path...
