Toran is a decorative door hanging usually seen in every house in India. Traditionally it is made of Merigold flowers and Mango leaves. The origin of torans can be traced to Puranas (Hindu mythological work). Torans are used to decorate the main entrance of the home. These torans are the first thing that welcomes guests. Just as in USA or UK we can see Wreath on every door, the idea behind both Toran and Wreath, is same to welcome guest. In India guests are always honored as God / Goddess. (Famous sentence for that is अतिथी देवो भव).
