Ashokan Lion Capital
अशोक का सिंह शीर्ष
In this Class 10 Art Education topic, students examine the Lion Capital of Ashoka as a major work of Mauryan sculpture. They explore its four-lion composition, symbolic animals, orderly design, stone carving, and the highly polished sandstone surface associated with Mauryan craftsmanship. The topic also connects the sculpture’s discovery at Sarnath with its historical meaning and explains how the lion capital became the basis of India’s State Emblem, helping students relate visual form, cultural symbolism, and national identity.
