BhimBetka || Rock Shelters || A journey to the stone age

Bhimbetka rock shelters, located in Raisen District of Madhya Pradesh, exhibit traces of the beginning of the South Asian Stone Age. It is believed that the interesting name Bhimbetka has been derived from the deity Bhima of Mahabharata, and is literally translated as “the sitting place of Bhima”. It is also believed that when Pandavas, the five brothers from the epic Mahabharata were banished from their kingdom, they came here and stayed in these caves.The shelters were first identified back in 1957 when V.S.Wakankar saw some rock formations while travelling to Bhopal. He later visited the place with his team and discovered a series of such ancient rock shelters in the area.These shelters were declared a World Heritage Site in 2003.
