Now to some ancient humans...And first signs of their artistic expressions. The Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka are in the foothills of the Vindhyan
Mountains on the southern edge of the central Indian plateau. Within
massive sandstone outcrops, above comparatively dense forest, are five
clusters of natural rock shelters, displaying paintings that appear to
date from the Mesolithic Period right through to the historical period.
The cultural traditions of the inhabitants of the twenty-one villages
adjacent to the site bear a strong resemblance to those represented in
the rock paintings.
Many thanks to Raghavendra :)
