The famous ‘chauri’-bearer statue found at Didarganj, Bihar, is classified as belonging to the ______ period.
Mauryan
The correct answer is Mauryan.
The Didarganj Chauri Bearer is one of the finest examples of such a Yakshi figure. These sculptures indicate a move towards the use of stone on a large scale and the development of distinct artistic styles influenced by both indigenous traditions and possibly some external contact (like Achaemenid Persia). The high polish seen on Mauryan sculptures and pillars remains a subject of interest, showcasing the advanced technical skills of the artisans of that era.
