Book Support[edit]
Proposed activities[edit]
Purchase of some rare books on famous temple styles, terracotta temples, rivers and river basins, and history and culture of Bengal or Indian subcontinent. Starting new articles and expanding existing articles using information from these books.
[Special Note: There is very little or no information on the internet about temples, temple architectural styles, famous terracotta temples, rivers and river basins, and history and culture of Bengal. As a result, problems are faced in starting or expanding articles or writing detailed articles.]
Expected impact[edit]
These books will help start new articles and expand existing ones on famous temple styles, terracotta temples, rivers and river basins, and history and culture of Bengal or the Indian subcontinent. This activity will lead the wiki movement to fruition.
