Which site is especially famous for prehistoric rock paintings spanning several Stone Age phases?

Last Updated:

DBhimbetka
Correct Answer: BhimbetkaYour Answer: D

Explanation

The Bhimbetka rock shelters in Madhya Pradesh preserve prehistoric paintings and occupation evidence spanning several Stone Age phases. Ajanta, Ellora and Elephanta are primarily historic-period rock-cut religious monuments. Therefore the other options either belong to another chronological phase, a different site, or an older interpretation that does not best fit the evidence.
