Dear list members,I was asked this question:
I came across the word ‘jagatiparvata’ in the Mahabharata. It appears in a description of gardens around the city of Indraprastha. The context indicates that it probably refers to some man made structure. I am trying to figure out what kind of structure it may be referring to. No luck so far. Would you know any expert on iconography or architecture who might be familiar with the ancient architectural design and/or terms ? If so, could you please make an inquiry for me?
