The historic fort of Chunar is enchanted with many myths, folktales and stories of India. The stone carving in the very National emblem of India, ‘The Lion Capital of Ashoka, is an ancient piece of work. It has been made almost 2300 years back, on the hilly grounds of Chunar at some median workshop, with the unique local sandstone.
Even today, the classic art has preserved itself from being lost. The resplendent art is used to make pieces, idols of gods and goddesses and sculptures with hands and the artists make them with handmade tools. The present sculptors of Chunar are also making marble stone statues and paint them with their hands.
