Jayati, also spelled as Jayathi or Jiyati, is now a village in Vizianagaram district of northeast Andhra Pradesh. Close to Odisha, during Kalinga era history, Jayati was an important town. It has many ruined temples notable for the study of Kalinga and Nagara architecture. The two surviving temple ruins are of Shiva and Parvati. In the village there are additional ruins of lost Vaishnava and Shakti temples. The better looking items found in Jayati have been moved to regional museums.

The Shiva and Parvati temple ruins from the Kalinga era here are state protected monuments.
