Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka
UNESCO site
Date of Insscription: 2003
The Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka
are in the foothills of the Vindhyan Mountains on the southern edge of the
central Indian plateau. Within massive sandstone outcrops, above comparatively
dense forest, are five clusters of natural rock shelters, displaying paintings
that appear to date from the Mesolithic Period right through to the historical
period. The cultural traditions of the inhabitants of the twenty-one villages
adjacent to the site bear a strong resemblance to those represented in the rock
paintings.
