I still don't understand difference b/w Pradakshina Path and Medhi

[@architecturedesignedu]

Hi, The circular terrace is called as the 'medhi' used as the pradakshina path. We hope this explanation helps.

[@AnkitRaj-lk6dq]

@@architecturedesignedu thanks for the response 👍
So just to be clear, 'Pradakshina Path is part of Medhi'. is my understanding correct?

[@architecturedesignedu]

@@AnkitRaj-lk6dq Medhi is used for pradikshana..This will make it clear.

why vedika

[@architecturedesignedu]

Vedika that's the timber railing was used to protect the village specially from wild animals as villages were developed by clearing forest. Thus, as time passed, it established itself as a symbol of protection. In Buddhist architecture, Vedika is used symbolically to protect important and sacred. In this case, it protects the Stupa which houses the holy relics.
