Some of the shelters were inhabited by the homo erectus more than 100,000 years ago. Some of the stone age rock paintings found among the Bhimbetka rock shelters are roughly 30,000 years old.

Next proceed to Bhojpur and see its famous temple that is dedicated to Shiva. The temple houses one of the largest lingas in India and it's crafted out a single rock.

The temple at Bhojpur is unique because it was left unfinished. There are a series of large architectural parts still located in the nearby quarries where the stones were cut and fashioned. In addition, there are a significant number of architectural drawings engraved on the flat surfaces in the quarry showing moldings, pillars, and the original temple plans. There is a large earthen ramp behind the temple which shows how the medieval craftsmen were able to raised the large blocks of stone into position.
