The Sanskrit word is ''vasati'', it implies an institution including residences of scholars attached to the shrine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Architecture of the Indian Subcontinent - Glossary )〕 ==Architecture== Jain temples are built with various architectural designs.〔Jain temples in India and around the world,Laxmi Mall Singhvi, Tarun Chopra, Himalayan Books, 2002〕 Jain temples in North India are completely different from the Jain temples in South India, which in turn are quite different from Jain temples in West India. There are two type of Jain temples: *Shikar-bandhi Jain temple(one with the dome) and *Ghar Jain temple (Home Temple without dome). All shikar-bandhi Jain temples have many marble pillars which are carved beautifully with Demi god posture. There is always a main deity also known as mulnayak in each derasar. The main part of Jain temple is called "Gambhara" (Garbha Graha) in which there is the stone carved God idol. One is not supposed to enter the Gambhara without taking a bath and without wearing puja (worship) clothes. A Jain temple which is 100 years old is called a Tirtha. The main deity of a Jain temple is known as a ''mula nayak''.〔Jaina Iconography, Volume 1 of Jaina-rūpa-maṇḍana, Umakant Premanand Shah, Abhinav Publications, 1987,p. 149〕 A Manastambha (column of honor) is a pillar that is often constructed in front of Jain temples. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jain temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
