Arrange the following in chronological order :
(i) Sculpture of Ravan Shaking Kailasa
(ii) Sculpture of Sirima Devata
(iii) Kalyanasundara Murti
(iv) Sun icon in Paryankalalitasana
Codes :
Answer: A
The key gives the order Sirima Devata (ii), the sun icon in paryankalalitasana (iv), Ravana shaking Kailasa (i) and Kalyanasundara Murti (iii). The Sirima Devata is a Bharhut sculpture of about the 2nd century BC. The sun icon comes after it, in the Kushana to Gupta period, the Ravana Kailasa scene is of Ellora and other temples of about the 8th century, and the Kalyanasundara Murti is a still later Shaiva image of the Pallava and Chola temples.
The other options begin with the Ravana or Kalyanasundara sculptures, which are of the early medieval age, so they are wrong.
