EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of the Lion Pillar of Emperor Ashoka takes us back in time to ancient India, specifically the Monkey Pond in Vaisali, Bihar. This remarkable monument, dating back to the 3rd century BC, holds great historical and spiritual significance. Standing tall and proud, this polished sandstone pillar bears an edict engraved upon it. It serves as a testament to the reign of Emperor Ashoka (c. 264-223 BC), who was a prominent figure in Indian history during the Mauryan Empire. The column's intricate design showcases the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. But there is more to this majestic structure than meets the eye. The Lion Pillar marks an important location - it signifies where Buddha delivered his final sermon and announced his approaching nirvana. This sacred site holds deep meaning for Buddhists around the world. As we gaze at this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported through time and space, immersing ourselves in ancient history and spirituality. We can almost feel a sense of tranquility emanating from this serene setting. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, these monumental structures continue to inspire awe and reverence among those who encounter them today.
