| 1. The Ajanta caves show two clear-cut phases of paintings with depiction of Buddha. |
| 2. All the paintings in Ajanta caves are frescoes. |
A) 1 only
B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2
D) Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
For many years Ajanta paintings were called frescoes, but this is an erroneous term in this case, and they are now referred to as murales, due to the fact that they were painted on a dry surface and not on a wet surface. The monument of Ajanta has 31 caves, which were excavated in the horse-shoe shaped gorge of the Waghora River in two phases. Ajanta caves can be classified into two phases namely the Hinayana phase and the Mahayana phase.
