[edit]
... that Anantashayana Vishnu (pictured) is the largest such exposed rock cut structure in the horizontal position measuring 15.4 metres (51 ft) in length, in the whole of India?

Article looks fine to me.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Replacing in suggestions area. Questions have been raised about the hook and referencing which need addressing. Espresso Addict (talk) 14:51, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
I raised the questions in Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Hook needs tweaking. I would suggest a hook similar to "... that the 15.4 metres (51 ft) long Anantashayana Vishnu (pictured) is the longest X in India?", where X needs to be replaced with a good description of what exactly it is the longest of. If there are aspects of the original hook that are not part of the definition of "longest in India", then these can be added at the front, e.g. " "... that the 15.4 metres (51 ft) long exposed rock cut structure Anantashayana Vishnu (pictured) is the longest X in India?" or whatever flows best and has all the necessary information.

- This is an expansion article. Pre-expansion size was 811 characters of readable prose. 5X would 4,055. Right now, it has 2,755 characters of readable prose. — Maile (talk) 15:16, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Confirmed: the article needs another 1300 prose characters to qualify as a 5x expansion for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

- ALT1 ... that the 15.4 metres (51 ft) long Anantashayana Vishnu at Saranga (pictured) is the longest sculpture of a reclining Vishnu in India? --Redtigerxyz Talk 18:26, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- Article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and just long enough. The hook is appropriately sourced and the image licensed. Going with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:11, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
