Lakshmeshwara Jain temples

Shanka Basadi
Shanka Basadi
  • ... that Shanka Basadi (one pictured) in Lakshmeshwara Jain temples, derives its name from the image of Neminatha in kayotsarga posture standing on a large shankha (conch)? https://books.google.co.in/books?id=m_y_P4duSXsC&pg=PA169
    • ALT1:... the Shanka Basadi (pictured), which is one of the Lakshmeshwara Jain temples, features a rare monolithic pillar with the carving of 1008 Tirthankaras (saviours and teachers of the dharma) and is known as the Sahasrakuta Jinabimba?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - needs to link to kayotsarga and shankha. Should read "... that Shanka Basadi (pictured), part of the Lakshmeshwara Jain temples, derives its name from the image of Neminatha performing a kayotsarga posture standing on a large shankha (conch shell).
  • Other problems: No - the alternate hook may be interesting, but IMO needs some context. Definitely consider using a wikilink so folks can explore what is being referred to!
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Earwig is fine. ALT2 as the hook passes. I'm going to give this a pass on the newness test, it is 10 days out from the initial creation, but you were the creator and by this point you had done a lot of work on it. Normally it would fail on this alone sadly, but unless anyone else objects I think it can be overlooked on this occasion. Aussie Article Writer (talk) 11:29, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

  • As suggested, I have rephrased the hook. Please let me know your thoughts on this?
ALT2b:... the Shanka Basadi (pictured), which is one of the Lakshmeshwara Jain temples, features a rare monolithic pillar with the carving of 1008 Tirthankaras (saviours and teachers of the dharma) and is known as the Sahasrakuta Jinabimba?

  • Pratyk321 much better, after a few modifications. So with the modifications to this alternative hook (which I have modified slightly) it would now fit the criteria. I do need to know, however, have my modifications satisfied accuracy? Are you ok with the changes? - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 15:58, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
