Hey,
I definitely have to say that the portal itself looks great, but the stone under it is just standard. If I were you I‘d make the stone under it like one of these old Aztec empress which look extremely awesome. I always thought these temples were a way to talk to their gods or so, so I think this will be a great way to make the portals look better.
I thought this helped you,

Hey man! There are many ways to make this portal to be even cooler!
-
You can add some epic pillars on the sides or even have some kind of building that is next to it, something visually appealing would like nice.
-
You can add some visually appealing particle affects that can drastically increase the appeal to this portal even more! I can’t really tell from the image if there are particles in it, all I see is a bright neon and some stones surrounding it.
-
different color You can add some kind of different color that would contrast well with this portal, or even have the same color but just a different shade of it like a darker version or a lighter version
Good luck and keep building

Just a heads up, if you want the temple to feel ancient or forgotten, try adding lots of overgrown vegetation. Good luck!

You should check out portals from games, I’m not sure what you’re going for aesthetically (as in who made this portal) but a good idea could be to look at Elder Scroll’s Online Anchors or if you’re more creative maybe read a book that features some sort of portal in it and use the vocabulary from that book to imagine the portal in your mind and create it there.
Personally, I would make some sort of grand epicentre for the portal, I really like how you’ve made a beam that goes into the sky, so I would make a huge portal / magical area at the bottom and then enhance the beam to make it a little more apparent and seem more powerful. You should try messing around with particles and beams to and add some SFX to your build as I often find that they make things look awesome even if you don’t detail them. When I look at your portal, I imagine the best way to improve it would be something like this, but honestly, it looks pretty good already.

Adding some light coming from the stones like shining out in different directions would look cool, and honestly right now it looks pretty good. Adding some type of symbolism like Greek, Aztec or Roman would look interesting, and maybe a particle emitter could make it seem like blue kind of whirlwind type of thing which could look good. Also making the main stone seem kind of grander, like having it be very big and steps coming up it, kind
of like this.
I think if you had it like that and took off the top of it and put the portal there it would look awesome.
Hope this helps

where do i find a tutorial in making particles like that in roblox studio? i cant seem to find it anywhere…
shouldn’t it just be a simple particle emitter?
nvm, i figured it out, just need to use attachments and rotating parts.

Going off the above suggestions I feel like the portal should be in the sky floating between two pillars something in the image below could give you an idea. I feel like you adding some vegetation or different objects around the area could improve it since it’s facing down consider having different formation of rocks or stones around so it doesn’t blast the ground open maybe have a mountain with different types of rock elevation with the effect hovering off the ground.
Since you’re going for a mountain look you should maybe go for, the Mayan pyramid, instead of the sand ones. Maybe consider making the base of the pyramid a stone material color, with different decorations - vegetation at the top of the mountain.
Try making or adding some vines, moss that grows from the top of the temple or mountain. That should help add a bit more detail and a better structure. There is a lot that can be done with this, consider throwing some changes and when you’re working on the build then post some more screenshots of the final results as I’m quite interested.
