Bijoy Toran, Heritage gate in Bardhaman, India
The arch structure features eight circular columns supporting the main frame with three female figurines holding swords, boats, and sheaves of corn.
Built between 1902 and 1903 to mark Maharaja Bijay Chand Mahatab's coronation, the gate received its name during Lord Curzon's visit in 1904.
Twenty-one decorated circles at the top of the gate display illustrations that represent the regional heritage of West Bengal.
The gate stands at the intersection of Bijoy Chand Road and Grand Trunk Road, approximately one kilometer from the former royal palace.
Italian masons constructed this monument, incorporating designs of stars that led to its initial name 'Star of India'.
