- Ancient petroglyphs have been discovered near Beerappa Temple in Telangana, adding to India’s prehistoric heritage.
- Petroglyphs are images carved on rock surfaces by removing outer layers using harder tools.
- The term comes from Greek words “petros” (stone) and “glyphein” (to carve).
- Techniques include pecking, incising, abrading, drilling, polishing, and scratching.
- They are found worldwide except Antarctica; in India, the Edakkal Caves are a famous example.
