Q. The Buddhist sculpture and art is found at
(a) Mahabalipuram
(b) Kanchi
(c) Vijayanagar
(d) Amravati
Ans: (d) Amravati
Explanation: The Buddhist sculpture and art are found at (d) Amravati.
Amravati is known for its significant Buddhist heritage and the presence of Buddhist sculptures and art. It is located in the present-day state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The region was once part of the ancient Satavahana Empire, which was a patron of Buddhism. The Amaravati Stupa, also known as the Mahachaitya, was a renowned Buddhist monument that housed intricate carvings and sculptures. Unfortunately, the original stupa is now in ruins, but fragments of its sculptural art are preserved and displayed in various museums.
While Mahabalipuram, Kanchi, and Vijayanagar have historical significance and architectural treasures, they are primarily associated with Hindu art and architecture rather than Buddhist sculptures and art.
