Correct Answer:

4

Explanation:

Answer:  The act of donating paintings was not glorified.

Part of the Western Indian School that depicts Jain themes and manuscripts is known as the Jain School of Painting. Jain painting also received impetus because the concept of shaastradaan (donation of books) gained favour amidst the community, where the act of donating illustrated paintings to the monastery’s libraries called bhandars (repositories) was glorified as a gesture of charity, righteousness and gratitude.
