During the Gupta period art became more creative and Hindu gods and goddesses also came to be portrayed.
The artistic achievement of the age is exhibited in the delicate workmanship and the variety of designs shown in different kinds of Gupta coins. The general scheme that was followed was to exhibit the portrait of the king on one side of the coin or an appropriate goddess with her associated symbols on the other side.
Besides coins, Gupta art found adequate expression in monuments and sculptures. Examples of the Gupta art can be seen at the dashavatara temple at Deogarh and the cave temples in Udaigiri hills.
Architecture
The Gupta architecture has survived in a few shrines, rock cut caves (Ajanta) and temples, such as the Dashavatara temple at Deogarh. These structures were mainly made of stone and bricks.
Painting
Painting as an art form reached a high degree of perfection during the Gupta times. The wall frescoes at the Ajanta caves (Aurangabad) and the one at Bagh caves (near Gwalior) bear evidence of this.
