Rock paintings:
The paintings inside the rock shelters of Satpura National Park in Madhya Pradesh's Hoshangabad District are largely of animals.
These rock shelters contain paintings of tigers and peacocks. Tigers are associated with Goddess Kali and are thought to signify power. Peacocks, on the other hand, are beautiful and graceful creatures.
Paintings of people riding elephants, carrying weapons, farmers carrying their farming tools, and ladies dancing can also be found.
Satpura National Park, which was established in 1981 and covers 2,200 square kilometres of mountainous habitat, is also a Tiger Reserve.
