The cave-paintings are the earliest manifestation of human creativity which is executed directly on the rock surfaces. At this stage (Paleolithic Period) paintings are related to their survival (magic). In most cases the paintings are done by hands. Use of brush or any other tool is not found for the application of color on the rock surface. However, it is found that the hollow bone pipes are also used for blowing (blow-pipe) spray colors on the wall. In some case scratch lines are also visible. The color pigments are natural and mineral mixed with water or natural adhesive. Various shades of red, brown and yellow ocher are commonly used in the paintings. Imprints of palm are found in plenty. The palm impressions (plate 1A) have significant role in their artistic activities. The piercing arrow or spear-head on the body of bison or other animals (plate 1B & 1C) are associated with the magic performance. The magical power would harvest killing of wild beast for their survival is one of their important activities. In each case man started inventing their indigenous technique and material.
