The Ashoka pillar of Sarnath made by Ashoka has been adopted as the National Emblem of India. The pillar at Sarnath is an excellent example of contemporary art. The pillar found at Sarnath has four lions sitting at the top with their backs to each other. The lions inscribed on its uppermost part are attractive and beautiful. Lions sitting on this pillar are facing four directions, which is a symbol of the nation’s power, valour and sovereignty. They are sitting on a round platform, which contains protruding statues of a bullock, a horse, an elephant and a lion. The pillar and these pictures have been polished with shining colours. The Sarnath pillar of Ashoka has a unique place in the art of statue making of the entire world.
