agora
In ancient Greek cities, an open space serving as an assembly area and backdrop for commercial, civic, social, and religious activities. Use of the agora varied in different periods. Located in the middle of the city or near the harbor, it was often enclosed by public buildings, colonnades containing shops, and stoas for protection from sun and bad weather. The highest honor for a citizen was to be granted a tomb in the agora. See photo above.
Agra
City (pop., 1991: 892,000), W central Uttar Pradesh, India. It was founded by Sikander Lodi in the early 18th cent. on the Yumana River southeast of New Delhi, and was intermittently the Mughal capital. The city fell successively to the Jats and the Marathas in the late 18th cent., and finally to the British in 1803. It is the site of the Taj Mahal and the imperial palace of Akbar.
vajra
Five-pronged ritual object extensively employed in the ceremonies of Tibetan Buddhism. It is fashioned out of brass or bronze, the four prongs at each end curving around the central fifth to form a lotus-bud shape. In Sanskrit the word means both thunderbolt and diamond: like a thunderbolt it cuts through ignorance, and like a diamond it destroys but is itself indestructible. Originally a symbol of Indra, it was used to conquer the non-Buddhist deities of Tibet. In ritual use, it is often employed in conjunction with a bell in the execution of mudras.
