History of production	Candi Jago is the burial place of the mortal remains of King Vishnuvardhana of Singosari Dynasty who died in 1268. This temple is possible to be constructed in 1280, 12 years after the demise.
Art	This temple comprises the lofty triple base ornamented with the band of the narratives. The significant narrative here is the story from Mahābhārata, starting from the episode of the gamble of Paṇḍava and Kaurava, the disrobe od Draupatī, the penance of Arjuna at Mount Indrakila and the episode of presenting Pāśupata missile by Śiva in the guise of the Hunter Kirāta. The superstructure of the tower, now lost, is possible to be the timber-and-tile or timber-and-thatch roof which is similar to the Balinese Meru type of superstructure.

Religion and belief	This temple enshrines the statue of Avalokiteśvara attended by Śyāmatārā, Bṛkutī, Sudhanakumāra and Hayagrīva. Whereas the set of the cult image belongs to Mahayana Buddhism, the narratives at the base of the temple are of Hinduism. This indicates the combination of Hinduism and Buddhism which happened very often in Eastern Javanese art.
