Pandavanpara is a monument standing in gigantic manner, protected by a kind of granite pagoda like natural rock facing west, covers an area of about 96 cents occuring between two huge boulders on a hillock sufficiently spacious to accomodate nearly fifty people. This peculiar shelter has engravings of deep kind, unique by itself on its walls and especially the lower portion at the entrance. The engravings at the entrance are mostly floral while on the interior some human figures could be seen in the hunting posture with bow and arrow. This particular characteristic of engraving and polishing in the gate would show that this work is executed most probably by the Neolithic people. This unique monument possesses some similarity to the Edakkal cave of wayanad. The department had declared the pandavanpara with a surrounding area of 1.2590 hectres of land as protected monument in 8.9.1987.
