There was a carved door of a temple. Beside the door, two statues of the deities which wore a clothes were standing. Their big eyes seemed to be watching evil not to enter the temple. They might be guardsmen of the temple.
I always wondered when I saw such guardians. The deities enshrined in any temple had a strong power. However, the guardians were placed at the entrance in most of the cases. I thought the deities could get rid of the evils by themselves.
