The famous warrior at the entrance of Sokkul Am is known as a "Dvarapala." In Indian and Southeast Asian art and architecture, Dvarapalas are guardian figures typically depicted as fearsome warriors or door guardians. They are believed to protect sacred spaces such as temples and stupas from evil spirits and malevolent forces. The presence of Dvarapalas at the entrance of religious sites symbolizes their role in warding off negative energies and ensuring the sanctity of the space.
