General definition (in Jainism)

Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I

Caityaparipāṭī (चैत्यपरिपाटी) refers to a “temple tour”, according to the Arbudācalacaityaparipāṭī by Somadevasūri (dealing with Sacred places in Jain literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The Arbudācala-caityaparipāṭī represents a praise of the holiness of Abu as a Jain sacred place even called an avatāra of Śatruṃjaya to which it is equal (vs. 49), well deserves the designation caityaparipāṭī ‘temple tour’ given in the colophon as, in agreement with this micro-genre, it deals in turn with the various Jain temples found at Abu.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Caityaparipāṭī (चैत्यपरिपाटी) refers to “lists of shrines” (e.g., dealing with mount Śatruñjaya).—[...] The indramaṇḍapa of Gujarat was similar to the kuttampalam of Kerala since it was a structure detached from the main temple, according to various caityaparipāṭī or lists of shrines dealing with Mount Śatruñjaya. Consequently, the indramaṇḍapa could have comprised a real stage facing the auditorium, contrary to the raṅgamaṇḍapa, which, as stated above, did not have any convenient place for the audience to sit and watch the show.

context information

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
