1. 1. ↑Publications of the local archaeological department argue that since Jean de Thévenot mentions a temple "on this very site" during his visit in 1665, Suri's mosque must have been put to disuse within about a century of its construction, which is highly unlikely given its royal antecedents.2 Thus, the authenticity of the narrative is doubtful.2 However, Thévenot did not provide any such detail on the location; further, his description of the idol ran similar to that of the Multan Sun Temple by medieval Muslim travelogues.

2. 2. ↑Writing in 1891, Syad Muhammad Latif recorded several Hindu shrines in and around Multan, including the Totla Bai Mandir near the Haram Gate of the Multan Fort, believed to have been a shrine of considerable antiquity; the Jog Maya Mandir, situated about a mile from the city, which had received Sikh patronage under Ranjit Singh; and the Ram Tirtha Mandir at a similar distance from Multan, which had likewise received Ranjit Singh's patronage, among others. All of these shrines regularly hosted fairs and religious gatherings.11

6. 6. ↑This serves as an interesting example of the powers exerted by the community: the Mahant was dismissed on grounds of addiction to charas, refusal to shelter migrant fakirs, inappropriate conduct with women, and inability to maintain a record of temple donations. Ajudhia Das challenged the dismissal before the Magistrate of First Class, arguing the position of Mahant to be hereditary and beyond the powers of Panchayat but failed to get any favorable judgement.An appeal was filed at the Lahore High Court in 1917 and the judgement was pronounced on 1 August 1922. Das' dismissal was sustained on rather-technical grounds —he had set up adverse claims to the property in the meanwhile, thus running afoul of Chintaman v. Dhondo— but the Panchayat actions were opined to be unjustifiable irrespective of its legal validity.
