The rock paintings at Kumittipathi testify to prehistoric Kongu region

Believed to be around 3,000 years old, the paintings in the Pathimalai cave are drawn with white pigments. They depict an elephant, ther (a chariot, some say it is a peacock), and the lives of early dwellers. Despite being a prominent rock art site, the cave lacks protection and the paintings are at the risk of destruction
