Dwarapalakas are divine gatekeepers, depicted as fierce warrior-like figures, who stand guard at temple entrances, guarding the sanctum and the deity within. They ward off evil, protect the temple's sacred energy, and symbolize divine protection. Their appearance, often fearsome with features like fang teeth and large eyes, serves as a warning and a guide to devotees, who are expected to show respect and approach the deity with devotion.
