A Jagati is a raised surface, platform or terrace upon which some buddhist or hindu temples are built 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glossary )〕 This feature is seen in isolated temples such as the temples of Khajuraho.〔(pdf file about Khajuraho temples )〕 It is usually not seen in temples enclosed by walls. The jagati lies on a base called Adhiṣṭhāna which adds to its height.〔http://personal.carthage.edu/jlochtefeld/picturepages/Khajuraho/architecture.html〕 The sides of the adhishthana are often ornated with sculptures. The jagati also allows for circumambulation, i.e. the walking of devotees around the shrine. In some large temples, this circumambulation is also possible inside the temple along a wall around the shrine named ''Pradakshina'' ==Notes== 〔 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「Jagati (temple)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
