Summary
DescriptionA torana, gate to sacred precinct, Warangal Fort Park and Museum, Telangana, India - 7.jpg |
English: A torana is a ceremonial or landmark gateway found at the periphery of Buddhist stupa or Hindu temple or temples complexes. They mark the pilgrim's or devotee's entry into a sacred precinct. They may be made from wood, stone, marble or any other material. They are the Deccan equivalent of the massive gopuras found in South India.
A torana may have two or four or six or more even number of pillars, symmetrically placed with a spacious walkway between them. The vertical pillars have transverse beams on the top with stupa or temple like decorations. The pillars and beams typically have religious motifs on them, which may be simple items such as makara, hamsa, gandharas, chakra or much more elaborate such as a Nataraja or Ganesha or Durga or Vishnu along with intricately carved salabhanjikas, dancers, musicians, scenes of kama, dharma and artha. The torana shown above is relocated in the Fort Warangal park from the ruins of Warangal area temples. |
