Observe the image and answer the following question.
Many of the saints shown in this mural belonged to one profession. Which profession was it?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Weavers
The mural is The Lives of Medieval Saints by Benode Behari Mukherjee in Hindi Bhavana, Shantiniketan. Its figures, linked by a rhythmic network of lines, recall a painted woven cloth, and weaving was the profession of many of these saints.
Note: This topic was not named in the CUET 2026 syllabus, but it was part of the NCERT chapter. In 2025 and 2026, NTA also asked questions on topics in NCERT that the CUET syllabus did not name. So our mocks have questions from every part of the NCERT chapter, to give you enough practice. Read the whole chapter, not only the sub-topics named in the syllabus.
NCERT (2026-27): “The Lives of Medieval Saints Despite his poor eyesight, the artist sketched directly on the walls without compositional sketches. The Lives of Medieval Saints was painted in modern style, where each figure is created with bare minimum lines. At the same time, each figure relates with its neighbour by way of rhythmic network of lines. In some ways, the mural reminds us of a painted woven tapestry, a profession that many of these saints belonged to.…”
