Ashok Stambh or Ashoka Pillar is originally situated at Buddhist monasteries (Sarnath) and pilgrimage places, as part of Ashoka Dhamma. It is the sign of victory and pride. The Ashoka pillar has four lions sitting on a circular platform carved with four small animal figures - an elephant, a bull, a horse and a lion. Wheels known as Ashoka Chakra or Dharma Chakras or wheels of justice separate the animal. The four lions are considered to be symbols of power, bravery, enlightenment and success, while the four animals symbolize four directions.
