National Emblem connection
राष्ट्रीय प्रतीक और मौर्य शिल्प
In this Class 10 Art Education topic, students explore how the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath connects Mauryan sculpture with India’s State Emblem. They study its polished stone surface, balanced composition, four lions, Dharma Chakra, and the animals shown on the abacus, while considering how these forms communicate power, justice, movement, and ethical values. The topic also helps students distinguish the original sculpture from its adapted national use, including the motto “Satyameva Jayate,” and understand how history, symbolism, and design shape a public national identity.
