## Notes

- vivah_panchami: no Commons photos of the Vivah Panchami festival itself at the temple were found; these show the Vivah Mandap (Ram–Sita wedding pavilion next to the temple, focus of the festival) and its wedding tableau.
- royal_patron: no portrait of Queen Vrisha Bhanu exists on Commons; these are the temple she commissioned, from files whose descriptions credit her.
