Finding a rock painting is rarely straightforward.

During our documentation work in Badami, we set out to record the well-known wild boar painting. But in a landscape made up entirely of rock shelters and painted panels, locating the exact spot is not always easy.

Even when a painting has been previously studied, identifying the correct rock surface on the ground can take considerable time and effort.

Day one ended without success.

Day two was a great success. In the process we found few more paintings as well!!
