Megalithic culture gave rise to the culture of graves encircled by stone boulders (big pieces of stones).
THE MEGALITHIC CULTURE:
- The Megalithic culture flourished about 1100 BC in South India and Deccan.
- The word megalith means large (mega) stone (lith).
- These people were known as megalithic people because they buried their dead and encircled them with megaliths or stone boulders.
- Their megaliths were mainly found on trade routes and around river valleys.
- Such large stones were specially put as a sign to indicate the sites of burials. These burials contain skeletons of people, pottery, and various iron tools and weapons.
- Many pots filled with ashes and charred bones have been found in some areas. This is clear that Megalithic people believed in life after death. These burials are a rich source of information about the culture and society of that period.
- Some important megaliths sites are Brahmagiri in Karnataka, Nagarjunakonda in Andhra Pradesh, Kodumanal in Tamil Nadu, Khapa, Takalghat, Naikund, and Mahurjhari in Maharashtra.
