Visited the Bhimbetika caves .These are the earliest evidence of human settlement in the Indian subcontinent and are about forty five kilo meters from Bhopal. Here we can see the first evidence of humans and their art and culture as they move from hunting and gathering to agriculturalist. Standing near the caves one can almost connect to the past and imagine the life of these ancestors some thousands of years back and see how we have progressed as a civilization.The Bhimbetka Rock Shelter has the oldest-known rock art in India, as well as is one of the largest prehistoric complexes to be seen. An archaeological treasure, Bhimbetka has around 243 rock shelters and have earned the honour of UNESCO World Heritage Site. In its bid to rewrite the colonial history from an Indian perspective, the Sangh Parivar has turned to archaeologists like Vishnu Shridhar Wakankar, who had discovered the Bhimbetka caves.
