Question

During the post Gupta period which of the following sites has yielded a massive varaha image?

A Eran
B Mandasor
C Mundeswari
D Sultanganj

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [A]

Among the options, the site that has yielded a massive Varaha image during the post-Gupta period is Eran. Eran is an archaeological site located in Madhya Pradesh, India, and it has revealed several ancient sculptures and remains dating back to different periods, including the post-Gupta period.

One of the significant findings at Eran is a massive Varaha (boar) image, which is a representation of Lord Vishnu in his Varaha avatar. The Varaha avatar is depicted as a boar rescuing the Earth goddess, Bhudevi, from the depths of the cosmic ocean. The Varaha image found at Eran is considered an important example of sculpture from the post-Gupta period and showcases the artistic and cultural developments of that era.

While Mandasor, Mundeswari, and Sultanganj are also notable archaeological sites, they are not specifically known for yielding a massive Varaha image during the post-Gupta period.
