Answer 1

Answer:

A. Ajanta School

Bagh Cave Paintings The Bagh Cave paintings in Madhya Pradesh are an extension of the Ajanta school of art. They share similarities in design, execution, and decoration with the Ajanta paintings. However, the major difference lies in the figures, which are more tightly modeled and have stronger outlines. Cave No. 4, also known as Rang Mahal, is one of the significant caves. These paintings are more secular in nature compared to those found in Ajanta.
