v2.c11.s1.4
This closeness of the carved images and the worshipper in one space is brought to its maximum in the inner ambulatory which, in the larger temples (sāndhāra), surrounds the Garbhagṛha. The rite of circumambulation (pradakṣiṇa) is more a communion by movement with the images stationed on the walls than a visual recognition of their identity and the perfection of their workmanship.
