about

A Dvārapāla or Dvārapālaka (Sanskrit, "door guard”) is a door or gate guardian often portrayed as a warrior or fearsome giant, usually armed with a weapon - the most common being the gada (mace). These statues were traditionally placed outside Buddhist or Hindu temples, as well as other structures like royal palaces, to protect the holy places inside. In other instances, a fierce-looking Nāga snake figure may perform the same function. The idea behind the song is that There Is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads: He Must Be Destroyed. The song somehow takes the shape of a Raga, connecting the musical form with the references in its name.
