A team of five researchers from Yogi Vemana University (YVU), Kadapa, have discovered caves rich in rock art. According to V. Ramabrahmam, who led the team, the rock art belongs to the period between 6000 BC and 6th century AD. Similar impressions have also been found at different rock art sites in Rayalaseema. This shows the usage of iron weapons, the basic feature of the Megalithic communities.”Besides the prehistoric rock art, there are others depicting Rama, Hanuman and Ravana. The team has appealed to the Archaeological Survey of India to preserve the rock art for future generations.
