Explanation:

The most important Chola paintings are those in Brihadeswara temple. The paintings were executed on the walls of the narrow passage surrounding the shrine.The great tradition of painting show narrations and aspects related to Lord Shiva, Shiva in Kailash,Shiva as Tripurantaka, Shiva as Nataraja, a portrait of the patron Rajaraja and his mentor Kuruvar,dancing figures, etc.
Statement 3: The paintings of Brihadeswara temple exemplify the stylistic maturity the artists evolved over the years. Sinuous pre-determined flow of lines, supple modelling of figures,elongation of the physiognomic features of human figures—all these represent the perfection the Chola artist had achieved during the period on the one hand and the phase of transition on the other.
