In English this may be called by terms from Western Greco-Roman [[classical architecture]] including base, [[plinth]] and [[Socle (architecture)|socle]]. Not all adhisthana lead to a jagati platform; some just follow the walls of the temple buildings, except where there are steps up to the floor level of the temple. <br /> <br /> The jagati also allows for ritual [[circumambulation]], i.e. the walking of devotees around the shrine, which is important in both Buddhism and Hinduism. In some large temples, this circumambulation is also possible inside the temple along a walled passage around the shrine sanctum named &#039;&#039;[[pradakshina]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hindu temple architecture]]<br /> [[Category:Indian architectural history]]<br /> [[Category:Architectural elements]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Architecturalelement-stub}}</div>
