Explanation:
Both the Nagara and Dravidian styles of art evolved during Gupta period. But most of the architecture of this period had been lost due to foreign invasions, like that of the Huns. Metallurgy had also made a wonderful progress during the Gupta period. The temple at Deogarh near Jhansi and the sculptures in the temple at Garhwas near Allahabad remain important specimen of the Gupta art. The Buddha statue unearthed at Sarnath was a unique piece of Gupta art. The Bhitari monolithic pillar of Skandagupta is also remarkable. The Delhi Iron pillar of the Gupta period is still free from rust, though completely exposed to sun and rain for so many centuries.
