Bhimbetka Attractions

 
Bhimbetka has some of the earliest known traces of human life in India including Stone Age rock shelters and paintings dating back 9,000 years.

Bhimbetka is also one of the oldest sites in the world where petroglyphs have been found. The colors have been well preserved because of the natural red and white pigment. It appears that the paints were made of colored earth, vegetable dyes, roots and animal fat.

The rock shelters and caves of Bhimbetka feature interesting paintings that vividly depict the way of life of people living in the caves and the natural environment around them.
