10. Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Padmapani Bodhisattva
The delicate and elegant Bodhisattva is adorned with classic Indian jewellery fit for a
man of noble birth. He is adorned with pearls, amethyst, lapis lazuli and other gems. On his
head is a magnificent crown, which at some point was very likely coloured in rich detail but
has faded now. The crown signifies his royal lineage. The blue lotus blossom in his right
hand (and this is why he is named Padmapani, in Sanskrit Padma is the lotus blossom and
Pani is the hand) represents his spiritual awakening. His eyes are lowered in a meditative
state. His calm, fine-featured face, his proportionate body, and his stance confirm the ideals
of the refined man set by the ideals of the Bodhisattva. The harmonious lines, the combination
of jewel and earth tones, the composition of the mural underline the high sophistication of
the artist, Hammer and Chisel to create a surface for the mural.
(i) The elegant Bodhisattva has __________ on his head. 1
(ii) In Sanskrit __________ is the lotus blossom and __________ is the hand. 1
(iii) What is the state of the eyes of Bodhisattva ? 1
(iv) The crown signifies __________. 1

11. Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Madhubani Painting - Kohbar Ghar
The Kohbar fresco is always painted by married women. Singing ritual wedding songs,
they prepare the base by painting the desired portion of the wall with rice slurry. The figures
are drawn with charcoal, or a thin strip of bamboo dipped in lamp soot. This strip is turned
into a brush by rolling some cotton wool on one end, and vibrant colours are applied as
desired. Traditionally the women themselves made colours with locally available ingredients
like lamp soot or burnt heads of Sorghum or Jowar (black), turmeric or sap of banyan tree
mixed with lime (yellow), Palash blossoms (saffron), Kusum blossoms (red), dull green
(cowdung), Peepul bark (crimson), ink or indigo (blue), Mahavar (deep pink). A Kohbar
fresco has fertility symbols, figures of deities and local characters like Naina Jogin, auspicious
symbols like the moon, the sun, the tulsi plant, the parrot, the peacock, the fish, the cobra,
the sparrow, the tortoise, the lily vine, the clove tree, the bamboo plant, the betel vine, the
water pitcher etc. There are no empty spaces in a Madhubani frescoe - the gaps are covered
with geometrical and floral motifs, animal and bird figures.
(i) Who paints the Kohbar frescos ? 1
(ii) The __________ is turned into brush by rolling some cotton wool at the end. 1
(iii) Saffron colour is made with which ingredient ? 1
(iv) Name the local character of Kohbar fresco. 1
