Usgalimal rock engravings, Archaeological site near Kushavati River, South Goa District, India.

The site contains over 100 rock engravings spread across 500 square meters of laterite stone surfaces near the Kushavati River banks.

Dating back 6,000 years to the Neolithic period, these petroglyphs were discovered in 1993 when monsoon floods removed the mud covering them.

The engravings depict bulls, deer, human figures, and geometric patterns that demonstrate the artistic methods of prehistoric communities in Western India.

The Archaeological Survey of India maintains the site, which visitors can reach by following a path one kilometer from the Rivona-Neturlim road.

The carvings include a mysterious labyrinth pattern etched into the laterite rock, whose purpose and meaning remain unknown to researchers.
