Step into a world of profound history and spiritual significance with this magnificent monumental antique Indian door. Standing at an impressive 110 inches high, with a substantial width of 63 inches and a remarkable thickness of 10 inches, this piece is a powerful and singular statement steeped in cultural meaning. Expertly carved from solid teak, a prized and durable wood, this door showcases the extraordinary skill of generations of artisans. The elaborate carved frame features auspicious motifs, including a prominent "Ohm" symbol at the apex. The sacred syllable "Ohm" or "Om" is a fundamental sound in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the essence of the universe and ultimate reality, bestowing spiritual blessings upon the threshold it graces.

The door panels themselves are richly adorned. Most notably, figures of Krishna are beautifully carved, likely depicting scenes from his divine life and teachings. Krishna, a major deity in Hinduism, is revered for his love, compassion, and wisdom, making this door a spiritually significant gateway.

Adding to its formidable presence and historical relevance are the strategically placed brass studs. While decorative, these studs served a crucial functional purpose, particularly on important gates. They acted as a deterrent against charging elephants, preventing the powerful animals from battering down the doors during sieges by causing injury to their heads and tusks.

The sun-bleached finish highlights the wood's natural grain and intricate carvings, giving the piece a rich, authentic history that speaks volumes of its age and journey. With professional installation, this Antique carved door can be re-hung as a stunning and unique set of entry doors for a home or a feature room, making a bold statement. Place it against a prominent wall in a living room, dining area, or garden to create an instant architectural focal point that adds unparalleled texture and history.
