Lavlji kapitel Ašoke
Lavlji kapitel Ašoke je skulptura koja predstavlja četiri "indijska lava" s leđima okrenutim jedni drugima. Prvotno je bio postavljen na vrh Ašokinog stuba u Sarnathu u današnjoj indijskoj državi Uttar Pradesh.Stub je još danas na svom prvotnom položaju, ali je Lavlji kapitel danas premješten u Sarnathski muzej. Lavlji kapitel Ašoke u Sarnathu je odabran za Nacionalni amblem Indije a kotač zvan "Ashoka Chakra" na njegovom temelju je stavljen u središte nacionalne zastave Indije.
