Rock Shelter 1

The paintings in this shelter are mostly of historic period. There is a clearly defined silhouetted painting of two elephants on the upper ceiling. Both of them are shown with long uplifted tusks. The smaller elephant is driven by a man standing on its back holding a goad and spear in his each hand, and sword on his waist. An illustration of a horseman, a soldier and two men are also seen here.
