  46. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Stone carvings are other impressive pieces of visual art of Gujarat. The State is also a repository of numerous places of historical importance, which attract thousands of people from all over the world. The city Junagadh is adorned with beautiful shrines of Hindus, Jains and Muslims. In Junagarh caves, a huge boulder preserves to this day the fourteen rock edicts inscribed by Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE. Besides, one can also see here classic examples of rock cut architecture in the Chitya Halls and the sculpted pillars of the caves. Maru-Gurjara or Chalukyan style architecture can also be seen in the Sun Temple of Modhera. Similarly, one can see architecture belonging to the Chalukya (Solanki) period at Adalaj, a heritage site protected by the Archaeological Survey of India in the Gandhinagar district. Hence an interesting depiction of 'Ami Khumbor'(symbolic pot with water of life) and 'Kalp Vriksha' (tree of life) carved from a single block of stone present a marvellous example of the State's sculptural heritage. Copper has been in use in Gujarat since the times of the Chalcolithic Age. Its traces are found in the ruins of the Indus Valley Civilisation at Lothal and Dholavira. The town of Shihor is still continuing that glorious tradition of metal craft with its 'Kansa' (Bell metal) works especially pots and pitchers of various sizes.
