The workmanship on the doors is remarkable both technically and artistically. The gates are two varieties of hint (gujarati) and arabic doors. The brass buttons on the doors come from Indian culture. The brass buttons were made to keep the streets from entering the streets, but this Hindu believes that the Stone Town people have accepted this belief because they use it more for wealth and decoration purposes. The number of gates in the 1980s was 800 while the number of gates coming from abroad and the number of gates due to theft I have heard that it has decreased considerably. I'm not sure how much is right. ! I like your writing very much. a wonderful travel post and very successful photos! Thank you..

Thank you so much for your thoughtful post and additional points. I need to ask a bit about the theft part but I heard that the teak wood was on demand so they had to substitute. But I realized that the doors are very tightly screwed to the hinges and there is so much security.
