The sprawling caves of Bhimbetka are located about 45 km northeast of Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh in India. Bhimbetka owes its name to Bheema from the epic Mahabharata. The rock art of Bhimbetka has been classified into various groups on the basis of the style and subject. Superimposition of paintings shows that different people used the same canvas at different times. The rock paintings have numerous layers belonging to various epochs of time, ranging from the Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic Age to the early historic and medieval periods. The most ancient scenes here are believed to be commonly belonging to the Mesolithic Age. Executed mainly in red and white, with the occasional use of green and yellow with themes taken from the everyday events, it depicts the details of social life during the long period of time, when man used to frequent these rock shelters. These are the colors you find on Lord Jagannath also. May be they also use these natural colors considered as sacred! It is a marvel that these paintings have not been fading even after several thousands of years. The colors used by the cave dwellers were prepared by combining manganese, hematite, easily pulverized red stone, and wooden charcoal. Perhaps, animal fat and extracts of leaves, vegetables, and roots were also used in the mixture. Brushes were made of pieces of fibrous plants. The natural pigments have endured through the ages because the paintings are generally made deep inside a niche or on inner walls not exposed to direct light. The oldest paintings are considered to be 30,000 years old, but some of the geometric figures date to as recently as the medieval period. Though the South Indian wall paintings with red and white are of recent origin and are of lime and red earth, it is likely they have been motivated by these ancient religious paintings dominating in red and white.
