Gopurams
Gateways to the infinite

 

Gopurams are the large ornate structures that adorn a temple’s gateway. They symbolize the varied levels of consciousness that make up the known universe and artfully depict how these diverse aspects of our existence are all part of a common purpose: the evolution of consciousness.

Temple gopurams remind us to rise above the cares of everyday existence and reach for the stars. They are a symbol of all that is human aspiring to be Divine, and all that is divine incarnating in the manifest world of shape and form.

 

 

The gateway to the temple is an important portal. It is specially decorated because it marks the point where we must leave behind all that is time-bound and limited in order to seek that which is eternal and infinite.
