Sorry, but I can’t see a reason to revert this image to some old version. The version uploaded on 24 October 2025 is the one which was promoted to FP status (Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Brihadisvara Temple during Maha Shivaratri-WUS03611 (edit).jpg), so the image must not be changed (or only for really important reasons). |
