    Pradipti,
    The introduction is very good which defines the features of vesara style, its time of origin and aptly supported by examples. Examples support the answer better.
    The body part of the answer is informative but try to mention the name of kingdoms which supported this style. Examples of some pioneers of vesara style can also be mentioned. Features are covered. The second part of the question needs to be little more elaborate. The word Nagara Style is repeated a lot. Alternatively a diagram can be used showing confluence.
    The conclusion needs to be innovative. Repeating the statement of question as it is does not add value. Passing reference can be given to the socio-cultural influence of vesara style.

    Overall answer is good. Facts and information is to the point.
    Keep writing.
