Answer:
The pillars of Ashoka are among the earliest known stone sculptural remains from India. Only another pillar fragment, the Pataliputra capital, is possibly from a slightly earlier date.It is also adopted as national emblem of India. It is thought that before the 3rd century BC, wood rather than stone was used as the main material for Indian architectural constructions, and that stone may have been adopted following interaction with the Persians and the Greeks.[8] A graphic representation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka from the column there was adopted as the official Emblem of India in 1950.[9]
All the pillars of Ashoka were built at Buddhist monasteries, many important sites from the life of the Buddha and places of pilgrimage. Some of the columns carry inscriptions addressed to the monks and nuns.[10] Some were erected to commemorate visits by Ashoka.
