Two prehistoric painted rock shelters, at Lakhudiyar, which literally means 'one lakh caves', on the banks of the Suyal river. There are paintings of animals, humans and also tectiforms done with fingers in black, red and white colours, and engravings of trishul and Swastika.

These images have become a tourist attraction, and studied by Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, New Delhi.
