Gates provide entry through walls, fences, and hedges that distinguish private properties from the outside world. Whether at temples, castles, or homes, these gates come in different styles based on their function and setting. At times, they serve as boundaries separating the sacred from the secular, warding off negative influences. Explore the variety of gates in the ancient capital, ranging from ornate and decorative designs to more straightforward constructions.
