It is an important symbol of the Peacock Dynasty in ancient India, 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 dominance. These lions are placed on a huge cylindrical pedestal with carved wheels, which is an important symbol of Buddhism representing the teachings of the Buddha. Not only is it an outstanding representative of peacock dynasty art, but it is also one of the national symbols of India. This reflects King 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.
