Question

The depiction of female figures in Mughal miniature school is less. However, in the paintings from your course, the artist has shown female figures and Mughal grandeur in:

• A. Chand Bibi playing polo
• B. Marriage procession of Dara Shikoh
• C. Maru-Ragini
• D. Kabir and Raidas

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Mughal miniature paintings usually emphasize:

• Court life and emperors
• Royal events and grandeur
• Limited depiction of women

However, some works uniquely highlight powerful female figures.
Step 1: Understanding the question.
We need a painting that:

• Shows Mughal grandeur
• Includes a prominent female figure

Step 2: Analyze the options.

• Marriage procession of Dara Shikoh → Focus on royal procession, not specifically female-centered
• Maru-Ragini → Rajput/Pahari theme, not Mughal
• Kabir and Raidas → Bhakti saints, not Mughal courtly grandeur
• Chand Bibi playing polo → Strong female figure with royal and courtly setting

Step 3: Conclusion.
The painting that combines:

• Female empowerment
• Royal Mughal-like grandeur

is: \[ \text{Chand Bibi playing polo} \]
