Group?

Why is there a "group of" in the article? Wouldn't Bhutanatha temples be enough?

Because there are multiple small shrines with each main temple and that is the terminology used by historians I have referenced. The image makes that clear.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 21:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I checked two of the links used as sources (the first one was dead), and Henry (1995); all of them use the term "Bhutanata group", so I'm assuming that "of temples" was added to make the title more descriptive. This is supposed to be done in the lead, though, so I'm moving the article to Bhutanata group.
