Bhimbetka is a very important place in Madhya Pradesh. It consists of numerous caves and so the place has a special importance as far as archeological facts are concerned. So, people from all over the world gather ere in order to view the exquisite caves that have been elaborately designed by the ancient forefathers.
Once you arrive at this region, you are sure to fall in love with its beauty and exquisiteness! Like the Lotos Eaters you will not want to move out elsewhere because this place has such charm as to entice you easily.
The Rocks of the caves have an elaborate design consisting of the tigers, lion, bison and deer. These animals were also abundantly found in the ancient era when these cave paintings were done.
The cave paintings also indicate the intellect of the forefathers. They used to prepare the paint with the help of vegetable dyes, colored earth, roots and animal fats. The dye was so perfect that even today, it exists with full brightness and dazzles with the fall of light on it.
So, the ravages of time have not been able to erase the elegance of the painting used by the ancient Indians. The scenes that were popularly depicted were the panorama of childbirth, communal dancing, merriment and drinking, along with religious rites and rituals.
