Kirti Toran, Vadnagar

The Kirti Toran of Vadnagar, a wonderful symbol of sculpture and architecture, is a testament to its glorious cultural heritage. This Toran was built in the Solanki era (942-1242 AD) to mark their victory. The tradition of constructing Torans in India, decorative gateways, reached its zenith in Gujarat during the Solanki period. The Toran at Vadnagar is the finest surviving example of its type. This architecture is built without any kind of cement. The bases of these pillars from the bottom to the top were kept as deep as possible to make this sculpture of red and yellow stones long lasting. The 13-meter-high structure with two massive and highly carved columns supports the wide stone beam and vaulted pediment with sculptures. Nearly 2000-year-old temple of Hatkeshwar Mahadev situated near Kirti Toran is the devotional centre for millions of people today.
