Door torans have deep roots in Indian tradition. The word toran comes from the Sanskrit Torana, a doorway that feels both sacred and welcoming.
In earlier times, people crafted torans from natural gifts, mango leaves, fragrant flowers, and even grains, to greet visitors with a sense of freshness and life.
Over the years, makers have blended new materials like cloth, beads, and metal, which keeps the craft vibrant while staying true to its spirit.
These door hangings aren’t just pretty decorations. In Hindu culture, they’re thought to invite Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, turning a doorway into a promise of good fortune.
More than anything, a toran signals hospitality: stepping under it marks a warm, respectful welcome into a home and the sacred space where everyday life and celebration meet.
