VADNAGAR NU TORAN
The ‘Toran’, called the ‘Kirti Toran’ is a semi-religious or civic form that flourished under the Solanki rule in Gujarat. Two of the finest examples are at Vadnagar. Of the two, the one that stood at what was the edifice of Rewah, is a truly imposing structure. Almost complete and a typical example of its kind, it rises to a total height of 40 feet. All the parts forming the ‘toran’ are devised on the same principles as those employed in the temple design.
