Bhopal: An exhibition on rock paintings was inaugurated in collaboration with Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya in Bhopal and Archaeological Survey of India, Bhopal Circle on IGRMS premises by UNESCO Inclusive Museum and Sustainable Heritage Development chairman Amreswar Galla.
Speaking on the occasion, Galla said that these exhibitions reflect the rich spiritual and cultural heritage of mankind.“Their continued presence is vital to help the global community recognize and learn about diverse cultural traditions, their origins, and the built landscapes. Rock paintings serve as records of humanity.”
Director of IGRMS, Amitabh Pandey, said that rock paintings provide a ‘historical record’ of the hunting methods and lifestyle of the local communities. Prehistory is the period in the past where there are no written words, materials, or recorded records of events. Therefore, information about different eras and evaluation of the events is obtained from excavations. These paintings are also one of the major sources of understanding the prehistoric past.
Manoj Kurmi, superintendent Archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India, Bhopal Circle, said, these pictures are also witnesses to the life journey of our ancestors, which help in understanding the living conditions of that time. Prehistoric humans used many techniques and materials to create them. They prepared colours from finely ground clay, various types of minerals, charcoal and vegetables.
