Caves

A series of 86 caves can be seen at a distance of about 12 miles from Pahadgarh . These caves are considered to be contemporary of Bhimbetka caves of Bhopal. In the beginning of civilization, people used to take shelter in these caves. Many pictures related to men, women, birds, animals, hunting and dance can be seen in the caves. These pictures show that even in prehistoric times, human art was alive in the Chambal valley.
