Auditorium Cave is a spacious horizontal tunnel about 25m in length, ending in a cathedral-like hall that opens in three directions. At the center of this junction visible from all four entrances is a large rock, 2.5m high and 3.4m wide, called Chief's Rock.
On the left side wall of the East passage into Auditorium cave there are paintings on the walls. They are red in color. The prominent figures are that of cattle, goat, deer, hand prints, and double bar. 
One can see another beautiful cave painting in the nearby cave. This is located in a elevated region. There are two sets of paintings in this caves. At the lower bottom they are in white color and the top are in the red color. In the above one can see figures of people riding the horse as if they are going for a war.

It is very interesting to see these nice sketches by our predecessor. These are very simple and figurative forms of drawings which leaves a lot to our imagination. It sets me wonder was is a quick "white board" sketch done to discuss some kind of strategy or it was meant to be an "artwork" done in leisure and was meant to last as long as it did.
Whatever might be the reason but it surely connects us to our past!!
It is great that you are sharing these with us.
Beautiful Caves with fantastic carvings !! Rajesh this is absolutely amazing..Would be traveling to M.P in March 2010.Will surely visit this place.Thank you.

Your posts are so informative and I enjoyed seeing this amazing art so much.
I really love ancient writings on the wall/hieroglyphics. I would not be surprised if there are more and more of these found in India.
Happy Holidays.
