The Allahabad Pillar is Ashoka Stambha which means pillars of Ashoka.
There are various inscriptions on the pillar which have their own art and architectural importance.
The three columns of the pillar have three different inscriptions by three different emperors namely Ashoka Maurya, Chandragupta Maurya and Jahangir.
Some are also done by the pilgrims which are coupled by the scripts and styles used by then.
This is an amazing piece of art and architecture.
