The torans, a pair of 12th century columns supporting an arch, about 40 feet tall built in red and yellow sandstone, just north of the walled town. They stand majestically on the bank of Sharmistha Talav, on a road going down from Arjun Bari. They are among the few surviving examples of the entrance gates, once a regular feature of the architecture of Gujarat in Solanki period. The carving style is similar to the Rudra Mahalaya at Sidhpur. Perhaps erected after a war victory, the architecture is embellished with carvings of battle and hunting scenes. The one to the east is in better condition and has been used as a symbol of Gujarat in recent times. The torans might have served as an entrance to a large temple complex, but there are no remains found here.

Google Maps accurately takes you to the historical site. As of end July 2018, a cement road leading up to the site is being built, so you will have to park/get down a few hundred meters away and walk.nnLooks like the tourism department is working on cleaning up the surrounding area and promoting the place; one hopes that they provide some information about the structures.nnThere are two pillar structures, both have steps leading up to them. This, they are not accessible for people with disabilities.nnPeople live in the vicinity, so please be mindful of that fact.
