Ashoka Pillar

In both Buddhism and Hinduism, the pillar symbolized the axis mundi (the axis on which the world spins). The pillars and edicts represent the first physical evidence of the Buddhist faith. The inscriptions assert Ashoka's Buddhism and support his desire to spread the dharma throughout his kingdom.nThe actual Sarnath capital features four Asiatic lions standing back to back, symbolising power, courage, confidence, and pride, mounted on a circular base. At the bottom is a horse and a bull, and at its centre is a wheel (Dharma chakra).

What I say , here really very silent place and very attractive for visiting and time spending with or without your loved once.nThere is a stupa a temple and much more that I will tell you . At last I only say that I should tell you before is that you must have know to pay digitally because for entrance you need to buy tickets through online payment.

Our national symbol.... We don't attack.... But are well prepared to defend ourselves...

It broken into pieces.. But still.. It is in good position.. One historic pillar

Good for people who like to see historical structure and monuments.
