Correct Answer - Option 1 : At the time of the Kushans

The correct answer is ​At the time of the Kushans.

  • The Gandhara style of art flourished during the Kushanas dynasty.

  • The Gandhara style of art was closely associated with Mahayana Buddhism and hence the main theme of this art was Bodhisattvas and Lord Buddha.
  • Thus, the conception of this art execution was foreign and the style was Indian. One of the examples of the Gandhara style of art is the Statues of Bamiyan Buddha.

  • Kanishka was the greatest ruler of the Kushanas.
  • He gave patronage to this style.
  • The style is based on realism, in which the Buddha statues were built on the Greek and Rome styles.
