A certain »Panchmukhi Shelter« (note 1), which contains rock art (VERMA1984: 211), is situated at an unknown location somewhere near Robertsganj (PTO near N24°41'10”: E083°03'45” Everest 1830) indicated in the India Road Atlas (Eicher Goodearth 2006: 57 G1) in Sonbhadra district.

NOTE 1: Is this archaeologist's »shelter« a true cave? The cave name "panch mukhi" translates literally into »five mouths« and may stand for something like a Quintuple Entrance Cave.
