Q1To which age does the artistic splendour of Abhaneri and Rajoregarh belong?
Explanation
The artistic splendour of Abhaneri and Rajoregarh is associated with the Gurjara-Pratihara age, a major phase of early medieval temple and sculptural activity in Rajasthan. The Chauhan tradition is important for Ajmer, Sambhar and later Rajput political history, but it is not the answer here. Guhil-Sisodia relates mainly to Mewar's ruling line and its later monuments. Rathore history is centred on Marwar and belongs to a different regional-political tradition. The question is asking for the cultural period linked with these art sites.
