Pragya Kapoor takes on a powerful initiative to restore Elephanta Island’s heritage

Pragya Kapoor’s Ek Saath Foundation has made a remarkable effort in restoring and preserving the historic heritage site of Elephanta Island. Recognizing the need for restoration, Pragya Kapoor recently took to Instagram to showcase the foundation's collective efforts in preserving this cultural landmark and shared photos of the same, along with knowledge about this particular location on her Instagram caption, “Did you know the actual name of Elephanta Island is Gharapuri (city of caves)? The caves are a collection of cave temples predominantly dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. The sculptures in the caves are carved in solid rock and dates back to 6-7th century. Most of the sculptures inside the caves were defaced by the Portuguese, who used them for target practice, in the 17th century”.

Their initiatives include recycling over 10,000 kg of waste, organizing nine cleanup drives since June that removed 500+ bags of marine litter, neutering 49 community dogs to promote a healthier ecosystem, and installing 58 dustbins, with 82 more on the way, which was also mentioned in the note. Through these sustained efforts, Ek Saath Foundation has insisted on remaining dedicated to preserving and restoring this invaluable cultural site, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its historical and artistic significance. With a mission of "One island, one mission: preserving our heritage," this initiative is said to be the beginning of a long-term commitment to safeguarding India's legacy.
