It is an important symbol of the ancient Indian Peacock Dynasty, built by King Ashoka in the 3rd century BC. The top of this pillar is decorated with four lions sitting back to back, symbolizing strength, courage, and rule. These lions are placed on a huge cylindrical pedestal with Dharma wheels carved on it, which is an important symbol of Buddhism and represents the teachings of the Buddha. Not only is it an outstanding representative of the art of the Peacock Dynasty, but it is also one of the symbols of the Indian nation. This reflects Ashoka's support and promotion of Buddhism, as well as his pursuit of peace and justice. The replica of this pillar is now used as the national emblem of India.
