The correct answer is option 2, Deer. The Samath Pillar is a famous ancient pillar located in the village of Sarnath, near Varanasi in India. It was erected during the reign of Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE. The pillar is known for its intricate carvings, which include various animals. The animals carved on the pillar include the humped bull, elephant, and horse. However, there is no carving of a deer on the Samath Pillar. The pillar is significant in Buddhist history as it marks the spot where Gautama Buddha delivered his first sermon after attaining enlightenment. It is considered an important archaeological site and a symbol of India`s rich heritage.
