This paper is related to rock art findings which includes rock paintings, some type of cup marks, rock grooves and rock engraving in the Gundla Pochampally, where the author reside, it is in Medchal District which was earlier in Ranga Reddy District, Telangana, around 30 Kms from Hyderabad along National Highway -7 road and around 2 Km of southwest direction from the main village in the forest area as the area is covered with thick vegetation, granite hills and granite boulders, the rock art found at five different locations within 50 mtr and one locality is around 1 km, are depicted on the granite boulders within the forest area, the time period are from around prehistory to early history and one rock engraving found is done on a single granite stone erected at the border of the forest of same village its time period is around medieval as it depicts a type of ‘ass curse’ image and given a particular name to that engraving stone by the local villagers in Telugu called as ‘Gadidha bodu rai’ when it translated to English words from Telugu ‘Gadidha’ means ‘Donkey’, ‘Bodu’ means ‘ bare’ and ‘rai’ means ‘stone’ therefore after complete translation its meaning is ‘Donkey’s bare stone’. And based on that the author was able to trace out the rock engraving site exactly with a local village person. The author would like to do scientific work at these sites and at other areas of the forest by systematic excavation in the near future to get more details as most of the rock art at those sites are dull and not clearly visible and which are almost fading away as well as getting lost not only due to natural weathering activities but also due to human activities. Therefore, these sites have very high potentiality from archaeological perspective, can become heritage sites in the near future and need to be safeguarded.
