TORANS & GATEWAYS

KRIS presents Torans & Gateways from the desert towns of Kutch and Bhuj of Gujarat State in India.
TORANS have been used for centuries as an ornate decoration hung over doorways.
 

Torans and gateways convey a warm welcome to all the guests coming to the house.
They also symbolise happiness, good luck, peace and prosperity for the householder.

TORANS, the door dressings, are made from cotton.
Our artisans embroider them in folk designs using materials like silk, pearls,
semi-precious stones, sequins, glass beads, sea shells, metal wires, tiny mirrors etc.

Our artisans use great skills in blending the different patches
and stitching them together to make this awesome piece of handicraft.

colours to adorn entrances and doors.
