About Ashok Stambh

A monochrome line-art depiction of the Ashoka Lion Capital rendered in very light grey lines on a white background. The central, front-facing lion is visible with two flanking lions in profile; below them is the circular Ashoka Chakra set into the abacus, which also shows low-relief animals along its band. The sculpture sits on a short base; the whole emblem is drawn with fine etched details rather than solid fills.

Beneath the emblem is a Devanagari wordmark in black reading "सत्यमेव जयते". The overall composition is vertical and emblematic, presented as a restrained official seal or crest with a minimal, high-contrast typographic line at the bottom.
