Wizard Dance of Bhim Bethaka is a Pre-historic painting drawn on the Cave walls of Bhimbetka. It was done in stone age (2500 B.C. to 1500 B.C.). This is the earliest example of the development of music, dance theatre and use of masks. In this painting, a dance celebration of aboriginal people is painted. In the left of the painting, there is a standing figure in a lively dancing pose. The human figures drawn in this painting are geometric in shape, linear, schematic, bold and lyrical. A lady figure wearing a mask with horns on her head is sitting in a dancing mood while a male was having a mask with horns is dancing with full rhythm in front of her. This painting is the earliest evidence of the development of music and dance in which masks were also used. They are indulging in dance ritual of prayer or pleasing a powerful jungle god or a magical healing. The colors used to prepare this painting are from different mineral stones and wood charcoal.
We can say that, that wall painting reminds the tribal dances nowadays with body paints.
