Its very unique shape can inspire our imagination about current phenomena and the effect of modernity on the pattern of people's lives that affect the form and culture of our ancestors. that the meaning of the Dwarapala statue is something that needs to be raised so that it can become a lesson and reflection on oneself when entering a room or, especially a holy place.
