Before you choose.
How do I unlock Elephanta Caves?
Visit the supported arrival area and choose Unlock. The server checks a current location sample; a confirmed visit earns a permanent badge for free. Follow local access rules and confirm the unlock before leaving.
Does an Experience include admission or a photo session?
No. Venue admission, transport, visitor access and physical photo sessions are separate. An Experience creates an optional private generated Memory after your verified visit.
Do I need the light shown in the preview?
No. These are illustrative generated previews of creative photographic treatments. A location check establishes nearby presence, not the pictured light or visitor conditions.
