What is the earliest surviving example of Indian miniature painting?

  1. The Moguli School

  2. The Bhagavata Purana

  3. The Ramayana

  4. The Ajanta Caves

The correct answer is: The Bhagavata Purana

The Bhagavata Purana is considered the earliest surviving example of Indian miniature painting as it dates back to the 14th century. The other options, while also being significant in Indian art history, do not date back as far as the Bhagavata Purana. Option A, the Moguli School, was established in the 16th century. Option C, the Ramayana, has been depicted in Indian art for centuries but the earliest surviving miniature paintings of this epic can be traced back to the 16th century. Option D, the Ajanta Caves, are a collection of Buddhist cave temples and paintings dating back to the 1st century BCE, but they are not considered miniature paintings in the traditional sense.
