**Jago temple** ([Indonesian](/source/Indonesian_language): ***Candi Jago***) is a 13th-century [Hindu](/source/Hindu)-[Buddhist](/source/Buddhists) [temple](/source/Candi_of_Indonesia) from the [Singhasari](/source/Singhasari) kingdom in [East Java](/source/East_Java), [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia), located about 22 kilometres (14 mi) from [Malang](/source/Malang). The [Nagarakretagama](/source/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](/source/Hayam_Wuruk) during his royal tour across East Java.[2] The name of [Adityawarman](/source/Adityawarman) appears in 1343 on an image of the [Bodhisattva](/source/Bodhisattva) [Manjusri](/source/Manjusri).[2]: 232 It is one of several related temples in the region.[3]

After his death in 1268, the [Singhasari](/source/Singhasari) King Vishnuvardhana was deified here as [Shiva](/source/Shiva), in the form of [Bodhisattva](/source/Bodhisattva) [Avalokitesvara](/source/Avalokitesvara). The temple's [bas-reliefs](/source/Bas-relief) 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](/source/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](/source/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]
