Notes:

Explanation: The majestic free-standing Ashokan pillars probably signify the axis of the world (axis mundi) that separated heaven and earth.

  • Pillar edicts have been found at Lauriya-Araraj, Lauriya Nandangarh, Rampurva, Nigali Sagar, Sarnath, Topra, and Meerut.
  • It is rather interesting to note that two pillars, one from Topra and the other from Meerut, were shifted to Delhi by Feroz Shah Tughlaq.
