@TusharSuradkar In my Signature there is Sanskrit shloka which was written by great Sanskrit poet from Ujjain in his books or granth Sataktray.

शीलं परम भूषणम् Means Character is the Highest Virtue i.e. No others values in front of character is more valuable ( व्यक्ति की चरित्र ही उसकी सुन्दरता है । They don’t need any external beauty, showoff, ornaments or necklace, any fake perfection…)

ऐश्वर्य का आभूषण सज्जनता, शूरता का आभूषण अभिमान रहित बात करना, ज्ञान का आभूषण शान्ति, विद्या का आभूषण विनय, धन का आभूषण सुपात्र को दान देना, तप का भूषण क्रोधहीनता, समर्थ का भूषण क्षमा और धर्म का भूषण दिखावा या पाखण्ड ना करना है। फिर भी इन सब गुणों में सर्वोत्तम भूषण ‘शील’ है। जो व्यक्ति सदाचारी हो और उसके अन्दर कोई दूसरा गुण न भी हो तो भी वह व्यक्ति सबसे श्रेष्ठ है, सबसे अच्छा है। मनुष्य की चरित्र ही उसकी सुन्दरता है और यही मनुष्यता की उत्तम गुण है।

शीलं परम् भूषणम् is very famous line that is extracted from above shlokas which is also painted on wall of Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA). This place is training institutes of UPSC Civil servants. All UPSC aspirants have great dreams to reach here after clearing India’s toughest & most prestigious exam & take a very proudful selfie here.

Thank you sir! May this will be helpful.

Thank you @Maximilianozalazar

Same here - I have a great appreciation for the ancient stonework.

Nowadays they simply make it with metal casting.
