Who of the following adopted Garuda's dynasty emblem after the imperial Guptas ?
-
- Rashtrakutas
- Western Chalukyas
- Shilaharas
- Chedis
Correct Option: A
Rashtrakutas adopted Garuda as dynastic emblem after the imperial Gupta. Silver coins of the Gupta kings Chandragupta II and his son Kumargupta I adopted the Western Satrap design (itself derived from the Indo-Greeks) with bust of the ruler and pseudo-Greek inscription on the obverse, and a royal eagle (Garuda, the dynastic symbol of the Guptas) replacing the Chaitya hill with star and crescent on the reverse.
