Why this record matters
“Govinda Prasad Kalauni” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Govinda, Prasad and Kalauni provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q107216752. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2035, 2036 and 2047.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
