Amid a great festival, the Lord of the gods entered the mountain abode, adorned with hundreds of toraṇas—gateway arches crowned with shining golden finials.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: A grand festival procession as Deva-īśa enters Himavat’s mountain-residence; hundreds of toraṇas line the approach, each crowned with radiant golden kalaśas, banners fluttering against a Himalayan backdrop.
Sacred spaces become visibly radiant when dedicated to divine rites, reflecting inner devotion through outer sanctity.
Himālaya’s sacred abode is celebrated as the setting for the divine wedding festival.
No direct prescription; the verse emphasizes auspicious festival arrangements—toraṇas and golden kalaśas—as signs of sanctified celebration.
