Toran door hanging was not only to decorate the home's entrance on special occasions, but also to welcome visitors and protect the house and household. The peacock at the very top of the pair of hangings above is a frequent design feature as a statement of welcome to guests, while embroidered gods and goddesses would also offer protection. Other prevalent elements included royal lions, cows and bulls, dancing maidens, and a variety of other endearing pictures.
