Mesolithic Rock Painting Discovered
In the Orvakallu village of the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, a Mesolithic-era rock painting of a person tilling a plot of land has been discovered. Paintings were created using ” red ochre pigments and white kaolin paints,” and the majority of them had suffered “severe deterioration” from exposure to “air and wind.”

A mixture of clay, sand, and ferric oxide makes up the colour ochre. By chemically weathering aluminium silicate minerals like feldspar, kaolinite is a soft, earthy, and often white mineral that is created.
One of the paintings showed a man controlling a wild goat with his left hand while catching it with his right. Another included a young youngster standing behind a couple of people who were standing with their hands raised.
