- Bhimbetka Caves - The Bhimbetka Rock Shelter boasts the oldest-known rock art in India and is among the largest prehistoric complexes worldwide, featuring over 750 rock shelters across seven hills. These shelters offer insights into human habitation from the Stone Age to historic times. The cave paintings illustrate a variety of themes, including animals, early human activities, and later scenes such as warriors on horseback, possibly from the Bronze Age. The artwork evolved from simple depictions of animals and hunting scenes to more intricate themes, including religious symbols and mythical creatures. The paintings are created using natural colors.
- Bhojpur - The Bhojpur Temple is an incredible architectural marvel. Situated on a mountaintop, the temple was constructed by King Bhoj in 1055 B.C. Inside the temple, there is a Shivling made from a single stone, measuring 7.5 feet in length. The temple’s rocks feature fascinating carvings. It exemplifies the Bhumija style of architecture, characterized by curvilinear towers and massive pillars. Raja Bhoj, the temple’s patron, was a renowned ruler celebrated for his contributions to art, literature, and science. He also founded the city of Bhopal and authored a treatise on civil engineering.
