Options:

Interiors, trees and flowers of the Palace

Bazaars, lanes, gateways, etc., of Jodhpur

Wood, iron and other resources found in the region

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Bazaars, lanes, gateways, etc., of Jodhpur

Explanation:

Answer- Bazaars, lanes, gateways, etc., of Jodhpur

The last phase innovative of Jodhpur painting coincided with the reign of Man Singh (1803–1843). Significant sets painted during his time are the Ramayana (1804), Dhola-Maru, Panchatantra (1804) and Shiva Purana. Ramayana paintings are interesting as the artist has employed his understanding of Jodhpur to depict Rama’s Ayodhya. Hence, one gets an inkling into the bazaars, lanes, gateways, etc., of Jodhpur during that period. This is true for all schools, wherein, local architecture, costumes and cultural aspects get interwoven with the stories of Krishna, Rama and others, and get depicted in paintings.
