Ancient Palli Ponthu rock paintings: low-relief ochre and white motifs on granite outcrops set in scrubland. Photograph panel compositions, pigment texture, tool marks, and the rock in landscape context at golden hour. Visit early morning or late afternoon for warm side-lighting that reveals pigment relief; mid-morning for even light on pigments. Site is rural—expect a short walk over uneven rock; no formal visitor center or guaranteed facilities. Respect fragile art (no touching), ask local pər
