Correct Answer - Option 1 : Bamiyan Buddha

The correct answer is Bamiyan Buddha.

  • Bamiyan Buddha represents the Gandhara School of art.
  • From the first century CE onwards, Gandhara (now in Pakistan).
  • Mathura in northern India and Vengi in Andhra Pradesh emerged as important centres of art production.
  • Buddha in the symbolic form got a human form in Mathura and Gandhara.
  • The sculptural tradition in Gandhara had the confluence of Bactria, Parthia, and the local Gandhara tradition.
  • The best example in this regard is the stupa sculptures found at Sanghol in Punjab.
  • The Buddha image at Mathura is modelled on the lines of earlier Yaksha images whereas in Gandhara it has Hellenistic features.
