Decorative Makara Toranas Public Deposited

The central hall of the mahamandapa (pillared hall) in the Bisaldeo Temple is embellished with eight beautiful makara toranas (decorative arches or gateways flanked with crocodile-like mythical figures on each end). The toranas (decorative arched gateways) are crafted to give the illusion of doorways suspended by the extended snouts of two makaras (crocodiles) at each end.
