I'll review this one. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:15, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

...in the form of Badrinarayan. What is that? It's redlinked, so an explanation would be helpful; else remove it.

...river Ganga: WP article is titled "Ganges", so best use that form please ("the river Ganges").

Architecture:

The Architecture section also covers location, statuary, and nearby hot springs; either move these, subdivide, or rename the section.
 * I am a bit reluctant about having a two line section for Tapt Kund. I have renamed the section.

Both Hindu gods (like Garuda) and saints (like Adi Shankara) are named without any description; it might be wise to say "the gods Lakshmi, Garuda, ..." and "the saints Adi Shankara, Vedanta Desika ..." at least on first mention. ✅ ...during the Vedic period. Might be best to say when that was, and indeed to link it. ✅ Why is the architecture seemingly Buddhist? This may need to be tied to the History section somehow.

History:

... is believed (repeatedly): Suggest replacing this with "According to Hindu legend", "Hindu believers hold that..." or "A traditional story asserts that ..." (or something similar).

Garwal: I think we should standardize on the spelling "Garhwal" as the most usual.

Please also check the spelling of all placenames throughout the article.
 * ✅ - have linked as well.

Legend: I added 'lotus' to gloss padmasana.

Jujubi tree: please rename and link this to "jujube (Indian date) tree".

Pilgrimage:

...heads of various Mutts: what are these? Might need linking. Citation needed, too.

Festivals and religious practices:

I've linked a couple of religious rituals (aarti ...); I expect several others could also be linked.
 * Have linked the generic ones and left specific ones of the temple.

Overall:

Overall this is a well-written and properly structured article with no sign of OR, and once these minor issues are fixed I'll be happy to pass it. Good work. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:48, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
