In a word - references, you need a lot more references. As a broad guideline, you should be looking for at least one reference per paragraph, plus citations for any direct quotes or potentially controversial statements. You might want to have a look through
WP:Good article criteria for where you should be aiming for in the short term, and
WP:Featured article criteria for best practice - in particular you would find some of the links at the bottom of that second page useful.
I wouldn't get too clever about image sizing/placement - Wikipedia is even less sophisticated about page layout than the average web page, and what may look a great layout on a narrow screen or tablet may look horrible on a widescreen monitor, and vice versa. Have a good read through
WP:Manual_of_Style/Images#How_to_place_an_image. Concentrate on images that convey useful information about Samta rather than just pretty pictures - something like that old photo of Madanmohan-jiu Temple is good and encyclopaedic, the photos of flowers should probably go.

It has already been decided to remove Indic scripts from lead, see [Swami Vivekananda]] article for example, we have removed all Indic scripts! And don't add <big> tag, are you using Windows XP with broken font? --

Happened to pep in this discussion. While Tito is correct in pointing out the consensus, it is not wrong to keep Indic scripts. The consensus was largely to avoid disputes, as many bio or even geo articles contained the name in several Indic scripts leading to clutter. Also, diffrent editors wanted different Indic scripts (for example, Hindi, Gurmukhi an Urdu for Delhi). For a beningn articl like Samta, we can happily keep (or remove) Indic script -- does not matter much.--

Another thing, I feel the <small> tag in
Template:Lang-bn is unnecessary, it makes, Bengali scripts too small (check it in source of the article)! That's why some editors use <big> tag for lang bn words! Small tag is not used in lang-hi or any other lang templates! Can you correct it? --

I do not have the technical expertise to correct the font appearance. Not sure where to ask for help either. I like the reason behind your support of the consensus :) Indeed technological shortcomings have remained a principal reason behind the halted development of India language wikipedias. --
