DESCRIPTION -:


Wizard Dance Painting is on the wall of the cave of bhimbetka of M.P. This is perhaps the earliest example of the development of music, dance theatre and use of mask. On one side there is figure standing in a joyful mood with arms outstretched. There are two more figure in the middle, one seated and one standing.

They are wearing masks and horns on the heads. Thick black lines are drawn without filling of colour in them. The figures are simple, elongated,stick-like and curved at place showing movement and high spirits.

They are indulging in some dance ritual of prayer or a magical healing or pleasing powerful jungle god. Overall we can sa that this wall painting reminds of trible dnces now-a-days with body pains. From times immemorial man hs been involved in pleasing god and nature by ritualistic dance and music.
