Photograph
I am slightly confused as to how we can provide a photograph of a building that was apparently destroyed before the advent of photography. I assume there is an explanation for this, the photograph is of a recreation or something similar, but some clarification within the article would probably be useful because as it is presented it represents a sort of paradox. 2001:569:7BB7:D200:C1DE:54EE:2D5A:9A6B (talk) 21:21, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Indeed - I am am highly dubious that the photo represents the Multan temple at all. The architecture looks to be from a good deal further south as well. We have only the word of the person who uploaded it to Commons.  Shall we remove it? Johnbod (talk) 23:59, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , what photo are we talking about? Nobody is even certain about the exact location of the temple. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:08, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
