The famous sculpture 'Parvati and Ganesa' from early \(6^{th}\) c. C.E. is displayed in-

• A. Baroda Museum
• B. Gwalior Museum
• C. Patna Museum
• D. Bihar Museum

Hint:

Regional archaeological museums often hold the most important finds from their respective areas. For sculptures from Central India (like Madhya Pradesh), the Gwalior Museum is a major repository.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the sculpture and its origin. This question likely refers to sculptures found in the regions of Central India, which flourished during the Gupta and post-Gupta periods (around the 6th century C.E.). The area around Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh is rich in such archaeological finds.
Step 2: Locate the artifact's museum. The Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum in Gwalior holds a significant collection of sculptures from this period and region. Important artifacts, including those depicting Hindu deities like Parvati and Ganesha from the 6th century, are housed there.
