Options:

Kashi Museum, Varanasi

Shantiniketan

Vidyapeeth, Rajasthan

National Museum, New Delhi

Correct Answer:

Shantiniketan

Explanation:

Answer: Shantiniketan
Benode Behari Mukherjee created the mural Medieval Saints on the walls of Hindi Bhavana in Shantiniketan.

Rather than making paintings around well-known epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata, Benode Behari Mukherjee was drawn to the lives of medieval saints. On the walls of Hindi Bhavana in Shantiniketan, he made a mural called Medieval Saints, in which he charts a history of medieval India through the lives of Tulsi Das, Kabir and others, and focuses on their humane teachings.
