Comment: Pictures for the other hooks available at the page, including "
John Thomson's photograph of the inner courtyards of the
Ocean Banner Temple (1874)" and "
Thomas Allom's sketch of the temple's main Buddhas (1843)" Reviewers don't need to worry. You only need to verify whatever hook looks most interesting to you, not all of them.

This article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and free from copyright issues as far as I can see. The image of the monastery is in the public domain and I like ALT0, but having found page 177 of the cited source, I see that the pigs were not "sacred", but were kept to show respect for animal life. I thought of "revered", "respected" or "venerated" for the hook, but none of these seems quite right. You may be able to think of something better.

OK then, I can see that the definition of "sacred" is a bit wider than I had thought, so this is ready to go with ALT0 and I will strike the other hooks.
