Kakatiya Kala Thoranam, Ancient stone arch in Hanamkonda district, India.
The Kakatiya Kala Thoranam features detailed stone carvings of lotus buds, garlands, mythical animals, and birds across its 10-meter high structure.
Built around 1200 CE during Ganapati-deva's reign, this architectural masterpiece remained standing despite Jauna Khan's invasions that destroyed other temple parts in 1323.
The ornate gateway represents the architectural excellence of the Kakatiya Dynasty and now serves as the official emblem of Telangana state.
The structure stands as one of four identical gates that originally marked the entrances to a Shiva temple within the Warangal Fort complex.
The gates' design intentionally excluded religious symbols, which helped preserve them from destruction during medieval invasions of the region.
