There are scenes depicting community living, with groups of people dancing, drinking, playing musical instruments.
There are also figures depicting war scenes with people on horses. They may be king and his soldiers. The king can be differentiated from the soldiers by the decoration on the horse and sometimes an umbrella above his head. You can see the swords and other weapons used in warfare then.
Most of the paintings are on the ceilings of the cave. The paintings on the outer edges are lighter than the ones away from the edges as the water could not reach the paintings that are in the inner circle.

very interesting. I am always interested in petroglyphs and cave paintings from the past. thanks!
What an amazement Rajesh. I couldn't imagine all this being from more than 10000 years back! How must it have been then?!! The kings, the troops, the dance, the groups, etc. mentioned by you are amazing to know as they relate to such an ancient time!!!

These paintings are not only fascinating but very well done. The ability of these ancients is amazing! And they did it without computers!
Wish you and your family a very happy and prosperous new year.

It is amazing, how same kind these ancient paintings are in different parts of this world, even we have those red animal paintings in our rocks, they are bears and elks here.
It makes an imagination really work.
thank you for this post about your world!
It's amazing how much of it is still around. It looks like the Indian govt is doing a fabulous job preserving the writings.

Rajesh: Amazing when you think of the age of the markings. That is quite the find, Thanks for sharing with My World.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful art work from Zoo Rock. Hope all is well, and happy New Year. Anna :)
It's always fascinating to see the work of much older cultures.
Zoo Rock reminds me of some of the rock panel art drawn by Native Americans a thousand or more years ago.
I wonder why I never had the thought that there would be cave paintings in India? How ignorant of me... all people are basically alike in their wish to express themselves. Beautifully done!
Rajesh, the paintings are amazing. Do you know what was use to paint?
I love cave art, thank you for sharing these!
Beautiful paintings and interesting..

This is truly an amazing work of art. And inside the cave at that. And full of history too!

I love the fact that these paintings are still around - so much history!
When was this created? These people drew better on stone than I do on paper - really beautiful. Amazing how things last.
Wow!!!
Amazing place very special :-)
Thank you for these paintings from so long ago. "dancing, drinking, playing musical instruments" - I'm glad they had that in addition to the warfare.
You always have such interesting places to visit.

The detailing in the paintings is amazing and loved the colour tones.
