 * On it. — Llywelyn II   14:06, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Hey, it's not really your fault but, at the moment, the sources in the article give contradictory descriptions of the location of the lotus sculpture. Find out whether it's in the main building or not, in the main ceiling or not, and phrase and cite the thing appropriately. [ALT1 is so awkward that it's kind of a non-starter.] Also, per Google Book searches for "Tarakeshvara"/"Tarakeshwara", this temple is not the of this namespace. You should move it somewhere appropriate before the DYK continues. There should also be some gloss of what makes Shiva's Tarakeshwara avatar different, since we don't have another page on it for people to see. Tell me when you get those taken care of and if you have any other hooks you can think of. —  Llywelyn II   11:41, 29 May 2016 (UTC)


 * According to Edward Backhouse Eastwick, the octagonal structure in front of the idol is called the "lotus of Hangal". The ceiling of this edifice is shaped like a "lotus". The first hook needs a correction -- the octagonal hall has a diameter of 30 feet; the lotus carving itself is only 20 feet. I've added supporting reference to the article. On a side note, This image probably better depicts the hook. utcursch &#124; talk 21:04, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Suggested ALT2: ...that the Tarakeshwara Temple in Hangal has an octagonal hall with a 20-foot (6 m) diameter lotus carving (pictured) as its roof?
 * The issues have been clarified by User:Utcursch. He has also proposed an ALT2 hook with an img. I have included Utcursch name in the credit list. Please see. Nvvchar . 07:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Great. Will finish up sometime tonight. — Llywelyn II   09:21, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

ALT2 G2G. New enough at time of submission; long enough (~2.3k elig. chars.); neutral, name fixed, copiously sourced; Earwig finds no copyvio; original nom's QPQ done; ALT2 terse enough (~130 chars.), sourced, and its grammatical errors fixt. Lotus picture free of copyright issues; visibility left at discretion of promoter. I think it's fine but possibly too dark. — Llywelyn II   15:04, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
