the study of the layout of the Kedaton Muaro Jambi tmple as a Hindu influence

Abstract

The remains of temple buildings are generally known on the island of Java, but this does not mean that there are no temple buildings outside of Java, but rather that there are still many temple buildings that have not been restored or reconstructed.The lag in temple reconstruction activities outside Java is caused not only by the fact that the conditions when they were discovered were not as complete as the sites on the island of Java, such as Borobudur and Prambanan Temples in Central Java, which at the time of discovery were in the form of complete temples from the base to the head of the temple, but also by the cost factor and the number of researchers interested in temple reconstruction. This also influences the lack of temple reconstruction activities outside Java.Sumatra Island is also home to many temple ruins, at least from the northern part of Sumatra to the southern part. One of these is the Muaro Jambi Temple Site. The site contains numerous temple complexes covering approximately 500 hectares. The largest temple complex within the site is the Kedaton Temple. The reconstruction process only affected the base of the temple, but the layout, including the gates, main fence, and the fence within the complex, provide clear clues to the building's layout.The uniqueness of the layout of the Kedaton temple is that it provides clues to the spatial pattern of Hindu architecture, while the site is known as a Buddhist temple relic. This is what needs to be studied in detail, which will reveal important information that can change the views and outline of temple research in Sumatra.
