The script of Ashoka’s inscriptions is Kharosthi and Brahmi. These are in the form of rock inscriptions, pillar inscriptions, and cave inscriptions. These are the great examples of art. These scripts are carved on high rocks and tall pillars on artistic and beautifully designed pillars.
From these writings, we get a lot of knowledge about the concerned rulers. These are called idol-writings. From such writings, we get knowledge about the important incidents and events which took place during the reign of those rulers.
