Ornate pillar in Diwan-i-Khas at Fatehpur Sikri bears influence of which Indian provincial style ?
Answer: B
The ornate central pillar in the Diwan-i-Khas at Fatehpur Sikri bears the influence of the Gujarat style. Its capital is a ring of carved radiating brackets, and art historians connect the carving with the work of Gujarati craftsmen, whose bracketed balconies and minarets in Ahmedabad were the models. Rajasthan, Malwa and the Deccan had their own architectural styles, but they are not the source usually named for this pillar, so the keyed answer is Gujarat, option B.
