where is the archway
If you search on Google about places to visit in Jaipur, you will find less mention of this place. This is because, Torana Dwar is a new tourist destination. This is the reason why tourists do not get a chance to see it. Let us tell you that it is located at Jawahar Circle near Jaipur Airport. It falls just before Jawahar Circle Park. From a distance you will see a white window-like wall. It looks like the White Hawa Mahal, but its story is different.
Why was the archway built?
After seeing its pictures, you will definitely think what was the reason for making it. Because what is the use of a gate without a wall? So let us tell you that the archway has been specially built for the purpose of welcoming the tourists coming from the airport. While coming from Jaipur Airport, you can see this gate from 1 kilometer away.
Why was it named Toran Dwar?
The reason behind why this gate was named Toran Gate is also quite interesting. In Rajasthan, when the bride and groom get married, the groom's family takes a wedding procession to the bride's house. He touches the Toran before the bride enters the house. Only after this the guests can enter the house. The tourists who come here to visit Jaipur are their guests. To welcome him, the Rajasthan government has built this beautiful arch gate.
