Explanation:

Lepakshi Paintings
Located in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, these mural paintings were executed on Veerabhadra temple walls at Lepakshi in 16th Century. Made during the Vijaynagara period, they follow a religious theme, based on Ramayana, Mahabharata and incarnations of Vishnu. The paintings show a complete absence of primary colours, especially blue. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
They depict a decline in painting in terms of quality. The forms, figures and details of their costumes are outlined with black colour.
