⁶ ¶ Sometimes a portico is made round the \*garb'hagriha\* and \*antarála\* together, the whole being closed closed by walls on all the sides but the front, in which are the doors for entrance, approached by the front portico, which is generally a peristyle, and it serves as the innermost court around which people perform their circumambulations; I say the innermost court, because there are other courts around the whole temple.
