About WYN 1
• WYN 1 is located very near the source of the Wyndham waterfalls and paintings occur on a 40-50 foot high cliff-face. It is very difficult to guess how these were executed or indeed to give them a close-up examination. There are no other paintings at or near WYN 1. As this site is very near the source of the waterfalls, and is located some fifty foot above it, and gives a clear view of animals coming to drink at a small pool of water nearby, it is a very ideal location for a prehistoric camp. Some broadly speaking mesolithic axes occur in situ near the WYN 1 site. AS the paintings here constitute but one solitary panel, located some sixty-feet above ground-level we had to document them only through photography, that is using a zoom lens.

WYN 3
• WYN 2 occurs in a, lone shelter downstream from WYN 1. The paintings are very badly faded
• The following slides show the rock-art recorded at WYN 3. Here we have the maximum number of paintings at any given Wyndham Site and along with copious modern graffiti. Most paintings re either faded or covered with CaCo3 deposit and in need of chemical cleaning. This shelter is also visited by monkeys and other animals and other types of weathering such as plant (vegetation, macro) and micro-vegetation erosion of rock art through the growth of algae, fungi, lichen and moss is evident here. Birds nests, and wasps nests, beehives, cobwebs occur in the painted area.
• Mostly, individual animal figures occur; however, there is at least a few panels which we may label as narratives panels of some sort.

Remarks about Likhaniya Dari
.This is a multi-period painting site.
.the earliest panel here, probably prehistoric is at the right hand bottom margin.
.the remaining paintings were executed on the same surface over a long period of time.
.some of the six distinguishable panels are thematic panels although they are historic.

Chuna Dari
• Chuna Dari (CHD 1 and CHD 2) is the name given to two painted shelters which lie about 2 KM upstream the Garai River on which, Likhaniya Dari, is also located.
it lies upstream from Likhaniya, and quite away from the drainage channel at Likhaniya, this site, which contains many paintings of prehistoric and historic origins. As these sites are away from the Forest Department naka it has been extensively damaged by picnickers and revellers.
• In some cases modern plastic and emulsion paints have been used to deface the prehistoric and historic images.
• This is perhaps the most defaced site in this region.

The Moraha Pahar Sites
• The Morhana Pahar sites are distributed in three distinct cluster. In our survey we have described these as A.C.Carlyle Shelters-Group One, some six shelters, occurring near the Drummondganj-Rewa Highway, before Bhainsor Village.
• Carlyle Group Two shelters some six of them occur a far way away on this Vindhyan Plateau, well-away from Morhana-Group One, but occur in the same geological and ecological settings.
• The third and final group, as per our present knowledge, is the Lekhaniya-Morhana sites, comprising a multi-chambered shelter at Lekhaniya, occurring south-east of Bhansior village and perhaps 3 KM distance from it.
• We are yet to explore and document Laharia-Dih shelter occurring on Mura Hills (cf. Jayaswal) some distance beyond Bhainsor toards Rewa.

Lekhahniya-Morhna: a brief note
• Lekhaniya has previously been excavated by R.K. Varma and is most distinguished of all the shelters in this area as it has an abundant history of settlement.
• The shelters is very big, multi-chambered, with at least five distinct areas which have been profusely painted and these may have comprised long-term residential units within the Lekhaniya shelter.
• Painted-areas are located at the ground-level, with paintings of humans and animals, and RK Varma’s excavations near these revealed several burials.
• Thus Lekhaniya 1, in R. K. Varma’s classification, represents a long-term residence camp.
• Much Chert and Chalcedony fragments are still to be found around these shelters.

Mukkha Dari• The site of Mukkha Dari is situated in the peneplain country near Ghorawal Tehsil
and constitutes a Water Fall site which has painted rock shelters (MKD 1, MKD 2 and MKD 3).
• It is located in a deep gorge carved-out by a subsidiary drainage of the Belan River which flows some Kilometers from here.
• It has a very deep cascade and even in the dry season it has sufficient water accumulation so as to make it a site suitable for year-around prehistoric camps.
• The Mukkha Dari is located inside a Reserved Forest area and abounds in game.• Three painted shelters occur on the southern-face of this Dari or waterfall.• These bear paintings of antelopes and other cervidae, possibly Bos Gaurus, and
other bovidae, fish of unidentifiable type, elephant (Elephas Sp.), human figures engaged in various activities, and designs : outline figures of hand, some geometric designs with or without infilling.
• At MKD 1 paintings are near the ground on exposed surface and therefore considerably faded.
• At MKD 2 the paintings are at a height of some one hundred feet from the channel of the drainage and has therefore survived degradation to some extent. This location bears the largest density of paintings amongst all sites at Mukkha Dari surveyed till-now.
• Like MKD 1 MKD 2 has just some rudimentary paintings of cervids and humans.
