Explanation

The Gaja Dwar, Ashwa Dwar, Garuda Dwar, Makar Dwar, Shardula Dwar, and Hamsa Dwar are the six functional gateways of the new Parliament building located in New Delhi. These gates are named after real and mythological creatures that represent different aspects of Indian culture and governance. For instance, the Gaja Dwar (Elephant Gate) symbolizes intellect and wealth, while the Ashwa Dwar (Horse Gate) represents power and courage. The Garuda Dwar is named after the king of birds, symbolizing dharma, and the Makar Dwar features a sea creature inspired by Hoysala architecture. These motifs were chosen to represent the diversity and heritage of 140 crore Indians. While Thanjavur is famous for the Brihadeeswara Temple's gopurams like the Rajarajan and Keralantakan Tiruvasals, the specific set of six 'Dwar' names mentioned in the question belongs to the modern landmark in the national capital.
