The Ashok stambh of sarnath has a historical significance. It represents the place where Buddha taught his lessons of dharma to the five monks. Then these monks spread the Buddhism to all over the world.
This stambh has four lions seated back to back. These lions represent power, courage, confidence and pride.

Hi friend!!
I am a great fan of Ashoka the great king of the Mauryan Empire!!
Ashoka was a born braveheart...
He was popularly known as the 'wild prince' and people considered him to be an incarnation of the very lord Shiva himself. He was as ferocious as the hermit Shiva (when he performed his famous Tandava nritya)
The Ashoka Stambh of Sarnath has four lions seated back to back. These lions represent the four elements of an ideal king:
* Power
*Courage
*Confidence
*Pride
Ashoka had later transformed into a kind and noble king and had adopted Buddhism He also researched a lot on the laws of Dhamma. He was then known as ' devanampiya ' and as 'the enlightened one'
So the lion also signifies the achievement of enlightenment!
May the great king Ashoka always stay alive in our hearts and may the spirit of the lion always prevail in us Indians!
Jai Janani!
Jai Ashoka!
Hope that helps you friend!.
