It is a masterpiece of Mauryan art and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Indian sculpture. The sculpture is 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) tall and depicts a nude woman standing with her weight on one leg. She has a full figure and is adorned with jewelry and a headdress. The sculpture is in excellent condition and is considered to be one of the most important works of art in India.<\/p>\n<p>The Didarganj Yakshi is currently housed in the Bihar Museum in Patna, India. The museum was founded in 1917 and is home to a collection of over 20,000 objects, including sculptures, paintings, and artifacts from the Indus Valley Civilization to the present day. The museum is open to the public and admission is free.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because the Didarganj Yakshi is not housed in those museums.
