Gaurav Kumar answered |
The Vakataka bronze images of the Buddha from Phophnar, Maharashtra, are contemporary with the Gupta period bronzes and show the influence of the Amaravati style of the same time. However, there is a significant change in the draping style of the monk’s robe. The Buddha's right hand in abhaya mudra is free so that the drapery clings to the right side of the body contour, resulting in a continuous flowing line on this side of the figure. This style of drapery is a departure from the Amaravati style and represents a new development in Buddhist art. The left hand of the Buddha is holding the drapery at the ankle level, creating a curvilinear turn in the drapery that is conspicuous. Therefore, the correct option is A) It shows the influence of the Amaravati style.
