A rock art site with numerous poorly executed drawings in red ochre depicting several human figures and at least one bird. SITUATION (SILBERRAD, C A 1907, 4: 568): Somewhere in the vicinity of Manikpur (then in Banda district, today in Chitrakoot district) but nowadays about 400 m beyond (south) of the border in Satna district (Madhya Pradesh), and one and »a quarter mile« (2.5 km) south-southeast of Manikpur Railway Station (note 1).
NOTE 1: Manikpur 25°04': 81°07'E, a railway station, nowadays in Chitrakoot district, is shown on AMS sheet NG44-11 Allahabad (U502 series, 1961 edition) and in the India Road Atlas (Eicher Goodearth 2006: 39 F5) on the Central Railway at a distance of 29 km along the road south-east from Karwi (25°12'N: 80°54'E).
