Naturalist Group finds cave paintings in Satpura ranges
A set of 17 unique cave paintings was found by a group of naturalists from Amravati districts in central India. The caves are located in the nature-rich Satpura Range of Madhya Pradesh, and the art is believed to be from the Palaeolithic period.
The group, which calls itself 'Hope', includes scientist Dr V. T. Ingole, wildlife writer P.S. Hirurkar, Padmakar Lad, Shirishkumar Patil, Dnyaneswar Damahe and Manohar Khode.
Dr Ingole said that the work has been published in the journal of the Rock Art Society of India. "It is really unique and must be preserved," said Dr Ingole, speaking on phone from Amravati.
