| Legend and Historical Significance | |||
| One of the poems written by Saint Yogi Narayana Yatheendra mentions that a Shiva temple will be built on the hills of Ambaji Durga. | |||
| History | |||
| The man made cave temples have started in 1993 by the Sri Gangadhareshwara Seva Trust, under the leadership of Sri Chowda Reddy, a former MLA and Minister. Inspired by the site’s natural beauty, Sri Chowda Reddy envisioned carving a temple into the hillside. | |||
| The renowned sculptor, Padmashri S.M. Ganapathi Stapathi, was the mastermind behind the design of the entire cave temple complex. He shared a close association with the 68th pontiff of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, the revered Jagadguru Shri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Shankaracharya Mahaswami. | |||
| During one of their interactions, Ganapathi Stapathi mentioned to His Holiness that he had designed and constructed hundreds of temples. In response, His Holiness asked which of these temples could withstand a major natural disaster. Ganapathi Stapathi admitted that none of them would survive a high-magnitude calamity. Hearing this, His Holiness suggested that he plan and construct a temple on a hill range that could endure such challenges. | |||
| Later, when Mr. Chowda Reddy approached Ganapathi Stapathi with the idea of building a temple on a hill range, the sculptor eagerly accepted, seeing it as an opportunity to fulfill the wish of His Holiness. Ganapathi Stapathi shared this vision with his son, Shri Shankar Stapathi, and his friend, Mr. Vidya Sagar, emphasizing its significance. | |||
| Over the years, the temple complex has grown to encompass around 20,000 square feet of interconnected caves, establishing it as one of the largest man-made cave temples built in India in the past 1,000 years. | |||
| Key Milestones | |||
| 1994: Installation of the Vallabha Ganapati idol. | |||
| 1996: Consecration of the Chaturmukha Linga and Devi Jagadamba idols. | |||
| The complex also includes a Yaga Shala. Free annadhanam is being provide to the devotees during lunch time for the last 22 years. Rituals such as Masa Shivaratri Homa and Girija Kalyanam are regularly performed. | |||

Article wizard should not overwrite existing drafts
From this diff, it appears the article wizard sometimes overwrites existing drafts. Does this wizard have a maintainer that can look into this possible bug? I think if the article wizard overwrites existing drafts some or all of the time, this is undesirable behavior and should probably be fixed. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Is User:Drewmutt the right person to ask about this? It seems like a good problem to avoid. HLHJ (talk) 16:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- The Wizard does not overwrite drafts. The article wizard opens a window with the page to be created, and if there is something there it shows that content. If someone chooses to overwrite the content that was already there, that is their problem. Primefac (talk) 17:03, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Proposed change to first page of the wizard
Suggested edit to first page, implemented at User:Gryllida/NewArticleBLPv1/preload/wizpage, to encourage new users to author tiny submissions which can be easier to review and reduce the backlog. Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 00:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Related discussion: link. -- Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 00:57, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Related discussion: link. (bump/follow up with link to this section). -- Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 00:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Seems backwards to me. The purpose of AfC is to help people create articles. This is saying article creators have to help people review them. If you find a draft too long to review, then don't review it. Neither of the above linked discussions appear to show consensus for this change. – Joe (talk) 06:49, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. In re-reading the past discussion, there was a reasonable consensus against making any sort of mandatory maximum length of a draft. Primefac (talk) 12:50, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
Proposed change to Misplaced Pages:Article_wizard/CommonMistakes
It seems, from Misplaced Pages:Help desk#Difference between "connected to" and "passionate", that a clarification of Misplaced Pages:Article_wizard/CommonMistakes might be useful. There might be clearer ways to express the concept of a COI. HLHJ (talk) 16:50, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
