The Mathura style and the Gandhara style are often juxtaposed in early Buddhist art. What is a false statement? The Gandhara region was cosmopolitan, as it was situated at the crossroads between India, China, and Middle East. The Mathura style has "wet" drapery and is warrior-like, following the tradition of making yaksha statues in India. The Kushans of the Kushan Empire were nomadic and had two distinctive cultural spheres in the Mathura region and the Gandhara region. The Gandhara style, which reflects the Hellenistic influence, was developed before the Mathura style. Which statement is false about the Great Stupa of Sanchi? The masons, stoneworkers, and architects who worked on the Great Sanchi were all devout Buddhists. A stupa is a burial mound that preserves the sarira of the Buddha. The visitors are invited to circumambulate the exterior of the hemispheric mound in the clockwise. Pre-Buddhist symbols, especially of the Hindu cosmology, were employed and re-directed to amplify the Buddhist symbolism.
