Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] The Ajanta paintings were made on the walls of the cave after pre-treating with plaster. In fact, the Mural painting of Ajanta are not true frescoes, for a fresco is painted while the plaster is still damp and the Mural of Ajanta were made after it had set. At Ajanta, we see the whole life of the contemporary Indian culture in panorama. It captured in itself the best tradition which travelled to far off countries such as Central Asia, China, Korea, Japan, Myanmar and South East Asia. In Ajanta's paintings, there is no division of scenes in different frames. The paintings mostly depict the Jataka tales and sometimes show human characters of non-Indian origin.
