"Entrance of the Great Cave Temple of Elephanta, Near Bombay" is a 19th-century artwork by the English artist William Westall (1781–1850). Westall, known for his landscape and topographical illustrations, was associated with the Romantic movement and often depicted exotic and historical locations. The work in question captures the grand entrance to the Elephanta Caves, a network of sculpted caves located on Elephanta Island in Mumbai Harbour, India.

The artwork is significant for its portrayal of the cave complex, which has since been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The caves are renowned for their rock-cut stone sculptures, most notably the impressive representations of Hindu deities. Westall's rendering of the site provides a valuable historical record of the caves' appearance during the early 19th century, a period when the British Empire's interest in the cultural and historical heritage of its Indian colony was growing.

In "Entrance of the Great Cave Temple of Elephanta, Near Bombay," Westall's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the site's architectural and sculptural elements are evident. The artwork serves as both a visual document of the period's colonial exploration and a testament to the enduring allure of India's ancient heritage. It is an example of how European artists of the time were engaging with and interpreting the landscapes and cultures of the East, often blending accurate representation with romanticized views.

The piece is part of Westall's broader body of work, which includes numerous sketches, watercolors, and prints that resulted from his travels in India and other parts of the world. His works are held in various collections and continue to be studied for their contribution to the visual culture of British India and the broader history of Orientalist art.
