This image of Lion was built in Emperor Ashoka period.
It is built on 44 feet tall single piece of sand stone pillar and is polished in glass like shine.
More than 30 pillars were made of sand stone and were taken all over India and paced in his entire empire.
Think what amount of labour and technology was used to built and in its transportation.
The national emblem of India and a mark of Emperor Ashoka's visit to Sarnath, this 50 m tall Sarnath pillar crafted out of a stone is an impressive structure with four lions on top.
I have seen them in Sarnath and Vaishali.
These mighty pillars himself says its story.
