The gate stands majestically with its imposing structure, rendered in hues of pink and purple, highlighting the intricate architectural details. The domed rooftops and arches lend a sense of grandeur and cultural richness to the scene. To the left of the gate, there is lush greenery, adding a natural element to the predominantly architectural composition. Several individuals are depicted at the entrance and around the ground, providing a sense of scale and daily life interaction. The sky above is clear with soft strokes of white clouds, contributing to the serene atmosphere of the landscape.
