Its finder, KV Subramanyam is quoted in The Hindu newspaper as having located this rock art site between 2009 and 2011. The site is a natural hillock of black sandstone with some fissures where human access, although difficult, is possible. In one of these openings Subramanyam discovered a number of paintings including one of a man hunting, and others of white coloured standing humans with red ochre on them. There were red ochre spots marked on the roof of the cave and man-made hollow spaces. Nearby there is a megalithic rock shelter.
