Abstract
Description
This torana, marvellously conceived although somewhat heavy in aspect, consists of a thick arch supported by 2 pillars with flat capitals. Divergent makaras decorate the extremities of the arch which is adorned with exquisite figures of women and kudus transformed into medallions on which a head appears. The pillars are decorated with garlands of pearls which are characteristic of this style.
