India has the world's richest collection of rock art. India's heritage of rock art spans from pre-historic period to present times.
The central India is rich in rock art, some of which can be traced to pre-historic period.Bhimbetka is about 50 km from the city of Bhopal, 3 km off the National Highway joining Bhopal to Hoshangabad.
It is a group of caves on a picturesque rocky hill. Each cave is an art gallery of beautiful rock paintings. Some of the paintings belong to a
period earlier than five thousand years and may be as old as 10,000
years.

engrossed in the serenity of the site...now who says history is all
about mugging up dates??there is more to it..
