Entrance to the Elephant Cave

Myself walking out the Goa Gajah cave 40 years ago. No part has changed this four decades.
The primary figure was once thought to be an elephant, hence the nickname Elephant Cave. Other sources state that it is named after the stone statue of the Hindu God Ganesh (characterised by having the head of an elephant) located inside of the temple.
But I was learned by the local people that the face of the entrance gate more a demon than an elephant head.

The photo was captured in November 1978 with a KONIKA T4 camera and a KODAK Ektachrome 50 ASA film, scanned with a NIKON CoolScan V ED.
