Door Hangings- Welcoming you home

Door hangings are the furnishing that is exclusively for doors. These as a tradition are believed to be auspicious if we hang them on the entrance door. Most popular in Southern India where these are popularly known as torans these have become a favorite worldwide. Not only Indians but the people from different countries buy them though not for the auspicious reason but as a mode of furnishing. These are usually long but have a comparatively much lesser width and they come in various designs as well. They are in different embroideries where they have usually the elephant or the peacocks in contrasting colors threaded on them. But because of their increasing demand they also come in mirror work as they impart a grace to the door they are hanged on. These are mere decorative pieces of cloth that are manufactured in such a manner that the doors look way too elegant and charming.
