Toran

Toran

Toran is the name in Hindustani (Skr. "torana", from "tor", pass) of a sacred or honorific gateway in Buddhist architecture. Its typical form is a projecting cross-piece resting on two uprights or posts. It is made of wood or stone, and the cross-piece is generally of three bars placed one on the top of the other; both cross-piece and posts are usually sculptured.

Toran may also refer to a decorative door hanging, usually decorated with marigolds and mango leaves.
