Bhimbetka Caves

Lost to the world until 1957 when they were accidentally discovered by archaeologist Dr. V.S. Wakankar, the Bhimbetka Rock Shelters are the largest repository of prehistoric art in India—and possibly all of Asia. The rock shelters were carved by wind and rain out of hills and boulders in this forested region, about 30 miles from the capital of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal. They contain evidence that people inhabited these shelters and caves as far back the Lower Paleolithic period, more than 200,000 years ago.Out of 760 rock shelters, about 500 are painted with scenes that depict local birds and animals, mythological figures, and everyday scenes of people hunting, playing, and carrying weapons such as swords, spears, and bows-and-arrows.
