Satpahar


On the opposite side of the Satpahar range, on its north facing side, are three major rock art sites facing the triple threats of a dam on the Tandwa river, the effects of the super thermal power project coming in the are shortly, and the opening of the Magadh and Amrapalli mines which we have collectively been able to hold up so far. Raham will stand along the edge of the submergence zone, being the easternmost of the three sites.

The rockart of Raham is on a high perpendicular/vertical rectangular wall of sandstone with wonderful boxed mandalas painted in red haematite. The cave was believed to have been a refuge for the Tana Bhagats during the end of the nineteenth century from which periodsome graffiti remains on the lower edges.
