Bhimbetka Cave Paintings
The Bhimbetka Rock Shelter has the oldest-known rock art in India. In fact it is one of the largest prehistoric complexes globally, comprising over 750 rock shelters spread across seven hills. These shelters provide insights into human habitation from the Stone Age to historic times. The cave paintings depict a variety of themes, including animals, early human activities, and later scenes like warriors on horseback, possibly from the Bronze Age. The paintings evolved from simple depictions of animals and hunting scenes to more complex themes, including religious symbols and magical creatures. The paintings are executed in natural colors.
