      Please mention reference ID.

      Decent attempt, you have traced out the evolution of pillar architecture well. However, elaborate a bit more about Ashokan pillars- 1-2 line description, some examples like Sarnath, Rampurva etc, used to spread the message of Buddha and Dhamma- these can be mentioned,
      Differences part is also fine. Good that you have drawn a table.
      Keep writing. 🙂
