In French quarter gates & doors are of different designs and no two gates & doors are exactly the same. The entrance gates are one of the most prominent elements of the French villas. These gates are the symbolic representation of the status and prosperity of the owner. A remarkably wide range can be observed from the simple pie red gate to elaborately detailed portals with arches and pediments.
But in Tamil quarter doors are similar. The main door placed between the thinnai is ornately carved and made mostly of teak wood. The top panel usually depicts the community of the inhabitants. We are presenting such gates & doors in this photo illustration.
