Jago Temple

Jago temple (Indonesian: Candi Jago) is a 13th-century Hindu-Buddhist temple from the Singhasari kingdom in East Java, Indonesia, located about 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Malang. The Nagarakretagama, written in 14th century, describes this temple as Jajaghu (English: "majestic"), and mentions it as one of the temples visited by King Hayam Wuruk during his royal tour across East Java.^[2] The name of Adityawarman appears in 1343 on an image of the Bodhisattva Manjusri.^[2]^: 232 It is one of several related temples in the region.^[3]

After his death in 1268, the Singhasari King Vishnuvardhana was deified here as Shiva, in the form of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. The temple's bas-reliefs depict scenes from the Kunjarakarna, Parthayajna, Arjunavivaha, and Krishnayana.^[2]^: 188 They are read counterclockwise.^[4] For educational purposes, the temple's stories have been integrated into children's literature and Augmented Reality.^[5]^[6]

History/Architecture

History

"Jajaghu" is the original name of the temple.^[3] It was (like other temples) built to honor a deceased king (King Vishnuvardhana) of the Singhasari period.^[7] The last of the Singhasari kings was his son, Kertanagara (honored in Jawi).^[8]^[3]

Architecture

The counterclockwise method is referred to as "prasawya".^[4]^[8] There are reliefs on each floor of the temple.^[4]^[8] It possesses more reliefs than Kidal and Singhasari.^[6]

The Bas-Reliefs

Angling Dharma

These reliefs are visual depictions of the stories of King Angling Dharma, who was capable of talking to animals.^[9]

Legacy

"Tantri" are stories that use animals to teach moral lessons.^[5] Students' smartphones have been utilized in translating the stories into AR.^[6]
