  • Comment: You’ve made a good start to this article, but unfortunately as yet it lacks sufficient sources which prove notability. It requires 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk at length about the topic of the article. Unfortunately the sources you have so far aren’t quite there. Please try to find some sources which talk about the temple in depth, but which are not published by any group with ties to the temple. Good luck 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 13:42, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
