The prehistoric paintings are produced in preliterate, prehistorical cultures beginning somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture either develops writing or other methods of record-keeping, or makes significant contact with another culture that has, and that makes some record of major historical events. Paintings and drawings were the oldest art forms practiced by human beings to express themselves using the cave wall as their canvas. The prehistoric paintings are in the form of murals. Theses murals were made by the prehistoric man using their tools on the inner walls of the cave. The importance of Indian mural painting was firstly highlighted by the Archibald Carlleyle and John Cockburn. They gave an introduction to the Kaimur (Mirzapur) hill paintings in 1880 AD. The Vindhya and the Kaimur ranges have at least 250 rock art sites spread across them. The cave paintings range from the Mesolithic to the chalcolithic ages. Among important cave painting sites found in the region are - the Panchmukhi caves (8 km from Robertsganj), Kauva Khoh rock shelters (near Churk) Lakhania caves (22 km, from Robertsganj) Lakhma caves (near Mau Kalan village).
