The decorative door hanging, also known as a toran or bandarwal in Indian culture. These hangings are used to decorate the main entrance of a home, especially during festivals like Diwali, to welcome guests and invite good fortune. The term "toran" has a history dating back to Sanskrit and Buddhist texts, symbolizing a sacred gateway. 
This particular toran features:
  • Shubh Labh: The words "Shubh" (शुभ) and "Labh" (लाभ) are visible on the hanging decorations. "Shubh" translates to "auspicious" or "good," while "Labh" means "gain," "profit," or "benefit". These terms together represent the desire for auspicious gains, prosperity, and success.
  • Peacock motif: The central figure of the toran is a peacock. The peacock is often associated with Lord Krishna and is considered a symbol of elegance, spirituality, and good luck.
  • Swastik symbol: The Swastik symbol (卐), which represents good luck, good beginnings, and blessings, is visible on the red banner sections at the ends of the toran. 
The toran is made with a mix of materials, including colorful fabric, embroidery, bells, and decorative beads. It is typically hung to bring positive energy and blessings into the home.
