Of the paintings in the caves and rock-shelters of the Vindhyan and Kaimur ranges in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh the earlier ones might probably belong to this period, though no clear-cut association with the archaeological levels has yet been established \[13\]. - [Previous: v1.c9.s4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s4.11) - [Next: v1.c9.s4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s4.13) - [Up: v1.c9.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s4) ## Cites (1) - [Patne](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.patne) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s4.12) · Pramāṇa
