A small gate was set up at the entrance to a small square that we passed by in Patan. The square is the centre of the community, and this gate may indicate the entrance to the community, or it may indicate the entrance to the sacred area, like a torii gate.
While I was looking at the gate in wonder, a middle-aged woman came through it just as I was looking at it. A closer look at the gate reveals that there is a small pagoda-like structure on top of the gate. Then it might be the entrance to a Shinto shrine rather than just an entrance to a community.
