A) Lakshmi
B) Varaha
C) Garuda
D) Bull
Correct Answer: C
Solution :

Most people now realize that Rapson was mistaken in identifying the central bird as a peacock; rather it is the mythic eagle Gamda, the dynastic symbol of the Guptas. For example, A.S. Altekar at says that the three-arched hill in the centre is replaced by Garuda, which was the imperial insignia of the Guptas. The view of earlier writers that the bird is a peacock is clearly untenable.You need to login to perform this action.
