The term 'Temple Gateway' refers to two distinct architectural elements found in many temples around the world. The first is a Pylon, which is a monumental gateway typically made of stone or brick and often decorated with inscriptions or reliefs. The second is a Torii, which is a traditional Japanese gate made of two vertical posts connected by two horizontal beams, and often painted red. Both the Pylon and the Torii are used to mark the entrance to a temple and signify the transition from the mundane to the sacred.
