Consider the following statements about Ellora:
- 1This art-historical site is associated exclusively with Buddhism.
- 2The Kailasa temple at Ellora has been built of dressed stone and kiln fired bricks.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
General KnowledgeHistory of India
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Ellora is associated with three faiths — Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism — not exclusively with Buddhism, so statement 1 is wrong. The Kailasa temple is a monolithic rock-cut excavation, carved top-down out of a single basalt cliff; it is not constructed of dressed stone and kiln-fired bricks, so statement 2 is wrong. Neither statement is correct.
