Correct Answer: Gupta
Solution : The correct option is Gupta.
The Ajanta Caves were constructed between the 2nd and 6th centuries BCE during the Gupta dynasty. Buddhist monks constructed the caves over several centuries. The oldest caves are modest chaityas (prayer halls), whereas subsequent caves are more complex viharas (monasteries). Murals and sculptures representing episodes from Buddhist mythology and folklore adorn the caverns. The paintings are especially well-known for their beauty and expressiveness. The Ajanta Caves were abandoned in the seventh century CE and were found again in 1819.
