Q. Mesolithic era rock paintings have recently been discovered in which state?
Answer: Telangana
Notes: Recently, Mesolithic rock paintings were unearthed at Sitamma Loddi, Gattusingaram, in Telangana's Peddapalli district. Discovered on a hillock in a dense forest, the paintings adorned a 1,000-foot-long, 50-foot-high sandstone rock shelter. The Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age, bridged the gap between the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, spanning approximately 12,000-10,000 years ago. Notable for the transition from large chipped stone tools to microliths, small tools affixed to bone or wood handles for making implements like saws and sickles, it marked a pivotal era in human cultural development.
