Bhimbetka has a long archaeological history right from prehistoric times to the Gond period. It is also known as the largest rock paintings complex in the country. This heritage site was discovered by Dr. Vishnu Shridhar Wakankar in 1958. Now more than 700 shelters have been identified, of which 243 are in the Bhimbetka group and 178 in the Lakha Juar group. The rock paintings display the gradual development of mankind. It reflects a long interaction between people and the landscape, as demonstrated in the quantity and quality of its rock art. It is closely associated with hunting and gathering economy as demonstrated in the rock art. Superimposition of paintings over time can also be seen in many of the rock shelters, which gives us a chronological understanding of the place and its history. Bhimbetka hills are rich in Buddhist remains such as stupas in dressed stone. The evidence of Brahmi inscriptions on the rock shelters in Bhimbetka can be traced back to second century BC. According to the historical remains, the area remained occupied till 19th century AD during the Gond period.
