Multiple kinds of Torana
A torana (Sanskrit: तोरण; [tawr-uh-nuh]) is a free-standing ornamental or arched gateway for ceremonial purposes in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain architecture of the Indian subcontinent.[1] Toranas can also be widely seen in Southeast Asia and parts of East Asia.[2] Chinese Shanmen gateways, Japanese torii gateways,[3][4][5] Korean Iljumun and Hongsalmun gateways, Vietnamese Tam quan gateways, and Thai Sao Ching Cha[6] were derived from the Indian torana. They are also referred to as vandanamalikas.[1]
