The paintings date back to the time of the Neolothic settlements in the region. They describe the life of the people during that period. One can see figures that are dancing, walking, running and hunting in these paintings. Many of these paintings resemble ones that have been found in Africa and Europe. Paintings of sun, stars and moon have also been found. The Kaimur region experiences an extreme climate and the conditions vary according to the different seasons.

HistoryEdit
Tradition of painting on rocks did not last long in European countries whereas in India they became an integral part of life. The overlapping or super imposition effects noticed in the rock paintings of Bihar clearly substantiate that these paintings were done over periods. Like any other traditional art, the rock paintings too happen to be the creations of our female ancestors. After realizing the importance of settled life, human beings settled themselves in caves close to flora and fauna. While the male adults stayed away hunting for food, the females decorated their caves with painting mostly depicting the hunting scenes.
