Four important rock art sites in four Mizoram districts were recently revealed by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI). A significant section of Mizoram’s international border is shared with Bangladesh and Myanmar. A recent village-to-village study throughout four districts of Mizoram—Khawzawl, Saitual, Serchhip, and Champhai—has revealed four important rock art sites, according to the Archeological study of India on X, formerly known as Twitter. They said that on a rock cliff in the Maite hamlet in Saitual District, a large human figure is surrounded by smaller human figures, animals, gongs, a row of Mithun heads, and other indistinguishable symbols.
“In Lianpui Champhai District, carvings include a prominent human figure, stacked rows of human figures, animals, fish, spears, dao, hornbills, and rectangular chambers, offering a glimpse into the region’s ancient artistry while in the Tualte site (Khawzawl District) showcases Mithun heads, human figures, grooved marks, and rectangular figurines etched into a vast rock surface” according to ASI. According to ASI, Chhawrtu in Khawzawl District has a unique mix of exquisitely carved human figures, Mithun heads, rows of human heads, a circular figurine with tendril-like lines, and a fish pattern.
