Discussion
The mural painting from Ellora Caves which shows Vishnu as Narasimha, the man-lion, is a work of which period?
Answer: B
The painting belongs to the Rashtrakuta period.
The Kailasanatha temple at Ellora, cut from a single rock, was built under the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I in the eighth century, and the paintings and sculptures there, including the depiction of Vishnu as Narasimha, are attributed to the Rashtrakuta period.
The Gupta period is earlier and is associated with Ajanta; the Chalukyas of Badami preceded the Rashtrakutas in the Deccan; and the Gurjara-Pratiharas ruled in the north.
