Tajug is a pyramidal or
pyramidsquare (i.e. an equilateral square base with a peak) ornament which is usually used for sacred buildings in
Southeast Asia including
Indonesia, such as
mosque or
cupolagraveyard. It is considered derived from
Indian and
Chinese architecture, which has history since pre-
Islamic era, although there's also an element of an influence from Indian mosques.[1] The term tajug is also used to refer to mosques or
surau (Islamic assembly building) in some regions of Indonesia.
