History of the National Emblem

The National Emblem's origins date back to the third century B.C. Ashoka, the Mauryan Emperor, was one of history's greatest kings. He founded India's first real empire. He decided to follow the path of nonviolence and spiritualism after years of war and murder. He adopted Buddhism and desired to live in peace. Ashoka, the Mauryan Emperor, ruled over the Lion Capital, which marked the location of Buddha, around 250 BC. It was the location where Buddha taught his five disciples the Dharma. In the emperor, there were numerous more such pillars, and the majority of them were built with the same animal on top. The pillars sank into the ground as the years went by. These areas were excavated between December 1904 and April 1905. In the Middle Ages, German-born civil engineer Friedrich Oscar Oertel had the initiative to start an excavation. The Ashoka Pillar of Sarnath was discovered in March 1905 following an excavation that lasted more than a year. Three separate portions of the pillar were discovered.
