тЬЕ Located about 45 km northeast of Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, these caves were accidentally discovered in 1957-58 by Dr. Vishnu Wakankar of Vikram University, Ujjain. Subsequent excavations yielded remains, serially from the Lower Palaeolithic Age to the Early Medieval Ages. The caves have rock paintings, going back to 15,000 years ago in vivid and panoramic detail. The most ancient scenes are believed to be commonly belonging to the Mesolithic Age. Executed mainly in red and white, with the occasional use of green and yellow and themes taken from the everyday events, the scenes usually depict hunting, dancing etc.
