One of the peculier styles of Bangalore is the decorative arches of residential area's/villages inside the city... these area residents build big arches such as this at the entrance of the roads leading to the specific settlements..

What a great photo; it says so much about your culture and what's important with all the statues above--are they all Hindu gods?

A kind of huge doorway to celebrate the DP theme of the month.

How beautiful! Sometimes for expensive new residential developments in the U.S. there might be a portal with a sign, but nothing as beautiful as this.
