Temple entrances have one or more gates which one must pass through before entering the temple grounds. This is where the secular world is left behind. Guardians defend temples by preventing evil from entering. Their ferocious looking faces encourage one to bow down deeply with respect, observe one's mind, and cleanse all evil thoughts before entering.
