“Since yesterday, SHE has been taking the photos herself...
and with what enthusiasm! Her fear of the technology was forgotten overnight. After all, she had the right film in her camera right from the start:
PERUTZ—the film for sharp images. And what’s more, PERUTZ film features a “built-in safeguard”: its wide exposure latitude.”

Bhimbetka, located in the foothills of the Vindhya Range in Madhya Pradesh, is one of India’s most remarkable prehistoric archaeological sites. Situated about 45 km south of Bhopal, the site consists of massive sandstone formations containing natural rock shelters that were occupied and used by humans over thousands of years. These shelters preserve an extraordinary record of human life through paintings depicting animals, hunting scenes, dancing, rituals, daily activities and social life. Archaeological excavations have also revealed evidence of Stone Age cultures, including stone tools and other remains. The site was brought to modern archaeological attention by archaeologist V. S. Wakankar in 1957, although references to the area existed much earlier. The paintings represent different periods, with the earliest generally associated with the Mesolithic era and later artwork continuing into historic times.
The importance of Bhimbetka lies not only in the age of its paintings but in the continuous relationship it demonstrates between humans and their natural environment. The artwork provides rare insights into prehistoric communities, their relationship with animals, hunting and gathering practices, and their artistic expression. The surrounding landscape and nearby tribal communities also retain cultural traditions that show connections with the heritage represented in the shelters. Recognising its outstanding archaeological and cultural value, UNESCO declared the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka a World Heritage Site in 2003 under cultural criteria (iii) and (v). Today, Bhimbetka stands as a remarkable visual archive of early human civilisation in the Indian subcontinent and offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the deep history of human creativity, survival and interaction with nature.

The Mir Arab Madrassah has served as a prestigious educational center since its construction in the early 16th century. The Madrassah was funded by the classical poet, Ubaydullahan, and built by Sheikh Abdulla.
The school earned its name from the Sheikh, whose real name was Mir Arab. Although Mir Arab was instrumental in the building of the Madrassah, he passed away in 1536. His son-in-law, Sheikh Zakariya, took over construction. Since its completion, Mir Arab Madrassah has been considered exemplary of religious schools in Central Asia.
