Correct Answer: Satavahanas

Solution : The Correct Answer is Satavahanas

Buddhism and its compassionate ethos served as an inspiration for the paintings and sculptures in the caves of Ajanta and Ellora from the second century B.C. until the sixth century A.D. The Satavahana dynasty, which ruled the area from about 230 BC to 220 AD, was in power at the time. They could therefore be referred to as the Satavahana period caves. The Hinayana phase is another name for this stage.
