... that the Sitaleshwar Temple remained in worship even when it was in ruins with only the pillars of the outer pavilion surviving?

Source: Fergusson, James. Picturesque illustrations of ancient architecture in hindostan. p. 34. Even in its ruined state, however, it is still used as a place of worship, though not considered of great sanctity, and is dedicated to Siva; but whether originally so or not, appears to me extremely doubtful.

ALT1: ... that James Fergusson described the pillars of the Sitaleshwar Temple as the "most elegant specimen of columnar architecture in India"? Source: Fergusson, James. Picturesque illustrations of ancient architecture in hindostan. p. 34. Taking the whole together, I think I am correct in stating, that it is the most elegant specimen of columnar architecture in India; it is the most so, at least, that I have seen.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - y

Looking good except that the final sentence lacks a citation. I'm not sure if it's correct. Ref 1 says the lingam "was once accompanied by a sculpture of Shiva-Parvati", not that it was preceded by it.

Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Always interesting to see new articles about Dharmic religion. Interesting to learn there's a "Lord of Coolness"! Both hooks are interesting. If forced to choose one, I would go with ALT1. Please take care with giving the full citation for sources so we know where the research was originally published, not just where it can be found online.

@MartinPoulter: I've fixed the inaccuracy in the final sentence, and added the citation. As for the full citations, it seems that you've already added them (thanks), but I'll keep it in mind for the future. AmateurHi$torian (talk) 18:27, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Problem fixed: this is good to go. MartinPoulter (talk) 18:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
