Toran
The piece
A toran is the garland hung over a doorway for a festival or a wedding, marigolds and mango leaves. Toran swags it like an eighteenth century festoon, looped up with ivory ribbon round a scalloped field of pink, with a bunch of lotus buds in the oval at its centre. Shown as a rendering. Woven to order in Jaipur.
