About
Jago Temple, also known as Candi Jago, is a significant 13th-century Hindu religious site from the Singhasari kingdom, located in East Java, Indonesia. This temple is notable for its intricate bas-reliefs depicting various Hindu mythological scenes from the Kunjarakarna, Parthayajna, Arjunavivaha, and Krishnayana texts. It holds historical importance as the place where King Vishnuvardhana was deified as Shiva, represented as the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara after his death in 1268 CE. Additionally, the temple features an image of the Bodhisattva Manjusri with the name of Adityawarman inscribed in 1343 CE. This site, referred to as Jajaghu in the Nagarakretagama, was visited by King Hayam Wuruk during his 14th-century royal tour of East Java, emphasizing its cultural and political significance during the late Post-Classical Period.
