Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) The Kushans … Gandhara School of Art
The Gandhara School of Art flourished under Kushan patronage (1st-3rd centuries CE); hence ‘The Kushans – Gandhara School of Art’ is the only correctly matched pair. Painted Grey Ware is associated with the later Vedic period, Ajanta paintings pre-date the Mughals, and the Pahari School grew under Himalayan Rajput chiefs, not the Marathas.
