        abstract = {Paintings on the bare uneven rough surface of the shelter caves in hill ranges are known as Rock paintings. Moved by the charm of nature around him, man has expressed his appreciation of it in works of art produced by him. This goes back to a time when he was still a primitive.Art in some form or other cannot be missed in everyday life even in the remotest corners of every place. The earliest paintings of the prehistoric age in the caves all over world give the magnificent examples of the observant eye and the trained hand even in man’s savage state. The colours chosen, the movement portrayed and the expression suffused in the pictures really makes marvel. The prehistoric cave paintings in India give a picture of life in those far-off days of the early man in India. In this paper, an attempt is made to reveal the importance of rock paintings in Tamilnadu with special highlights to the Jain monuments in Madurai.},
