Solution
Art and architecture gained great heights during the Gupta Period. Many temples were built. The temples at Deogarh, Sanchi, and Bhittargaon are very famous. The 29 cave temples at Ajanta near Aurangabad in Maharashtra and Bagh in Madhya Pradesh were also built during this period. The walls of these caves were covered with paintings (called murals or frescoes). Two main centers of art were Mathura and Samath. The image of the seated Buddha in a yogic pose is one of the masterpieces of the art of this period.
