Q. The school of arts developed during the Kushan Period with the mixture of Indian and Greek style is known as

Gandhara art developed during the Kushan Period, particularly under the rule of Kanishka the Great.

It is known for its unique blend of Indian and Greek (Hellenistic) artistic styles.
The art was mainly Buddhist in theme and depicted Buddha in human form, which was influenced by Greek and Roman sculpture techniques.

Why other options are incorrect:

(A) Mughal art – Developed much later during the Mughal Empire (16th–18th century), known for Persian influences and miniature paintings.
(B) Kushan art – This is not a specific term used in art history; the correct term is Gandhara art for this period and style.
(C) Persian art – Originated in Persia (modern-day Iran) and has different characteristics, unrelated to the Greek-Indian fusion seen in Gandhara.

So, Gandhara art is the correct and specific term for the Indo-Greek artistic style that flourished during the Kushan Period.
