The Picture of the Day of Tuesday 21 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: Tihar.

Credits: Mithun Kunwar.
Tihar is a five-day Hindu festival of lights, celebrated in Nepal and parts of India (Sikkim, Darjeeling and Assam) by the Nepalese and Indian Gorkha people. The festival coincides and shares similarities with Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated by Hindus across the Indian subcontinent and elsewhere, but also has some distinct features, such as the celebration of animals associated with the Hindu deity Yama. Today (21 October 2025) is the third day of the festival, Lakshmi Puja, representing the cow, and is considered the most important day of Tihar. This photograph shows a woman lighting diyas for Tihar, in the Telgha area of Nepal. Type: photograph. Credits: Mithun Kunwar.

The Picture of the Day of Monday 20 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: Crescent-faced antpitta.

Credits: Charles J. Sharp.
The crescent-faced antpitta (Grallaricula lineifrons) is a species of bird in the antpitta family, Grallariidae. It is found in scattered locations in the Andes, from southern Ecuador through to Colombia's Quindío Department. It inhabits the undergrowth of humid forest, both cloudforest and elfin forest near but not past the treeline. Recent studies show that its range is almost entirely above 2,900 metres (9,500 ft) in altitude and it reaches at least 3,700 metres (12,100 ft) in places. It is 11 to 12 centimetres (4.3 to 4.7 in) long with a mass between 17 and 22 grams (0.60 and 0.78 oz). Both sexes have the same plumage, with adults featuring the eponymous white crescent from the crown through the lores and almost to the throat and a small white spot behind the eye. The crescent-faced antpitta's crown and nape are dark sooty gray, its face is black, its upperparts are brownish olive and the wings and tail a browner shade. It forages singly or in pairs as well as eating regularly from artificial feeding stations at viewing points, its diet consisting of earthworms, insects, spiders, and other arthropods. This crescent-faced antpitta was photographed at Hacienda El Bosque near Manizales, Colombia. Type: photograph. Credits: Charles J. Sharp.

The Picture of the Day of Sunday 19 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.

Credits: David Iliff.
Christ Church Cathedral is a cathedral of the Church of England in Oxford, England. It is the seat of the bishop of Oxford and the principal church of the Diocese of Oxford. It is also the chapel of Christ Church, one of the colleges of the University of Oxford; this dual role is unique in the Church of England. The first church on the site was a nunnery and parish church that was burnt during the St Brice's Day massacre in 1002; it was re-founded as a priory of Augustinian canons by 1122. This was suppressed in 1524 by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who intended to demolish the church in order to found a new college on the site. After Wolsey fell from favour in 1529, the project was taken over by Henry VIII, who preserved the church. When the Diocese of Oxford was created in 1542, its cathedral was the former Osney Abbey, which was supplanted by Christ Church in 1546. This picture shows the choir of Christ Church Cathedral, looking east towards the altar. Type: photograph. Credits: David Iliff.

The Picture of the Day of Saturday 18 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: The Window.

Credits: John Everett Millais; restored by Adam Cuerden.
The Window is a song cycle composed by Arthur Sullivan with words by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Written in 1867 and published in 1871, the cycle consists of twelve poems by Tennyson, eleven of which were set to music by Sullivan, as well as this one illustration, titled "A Reverie", drawn in 1868 by John Everett Millais and depicting a female figure looking pensively out of a window. Tennyson had a draft of the text by February 1867, but he was dissatisfied with his work and reluctant to publish it. In August 1867, Tennyson had revised the words, but he refused to allow publication until November 1870. By this time, however, Millais had disposed of all the drawings he had prepared for the publication except for "A Reverie", and he was too busy to work any further on the project. Type: drawing.

The Picture of the Day of Friday 17 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: Parazoanthus axinellae.

Credits: Diego Delso.
Parazoanthus axinellae, commonly known as the yellow cluster anemone, is a species of zoanthid coral in the family Parazoanthidae. It is found on rocky substrates around the southern Atlantic coasts of Europe and in the Mediterranean Sea, at depths between 23 and 45 metres (75 and 148 ft). Zoanthids differ from true sea anemones in having a different internal anatomy and in forming true colonies in which the individual animals (polyps) are connected by a common tissue, called the coenenchyme. Parazoanthus axinellae is yellow or orange in colour, each polyp featuring 24 to 36 tentacles and having a diameter of 5 millimetres (0.20 in) with a height of 20 millimetres (0.79 in). In the Mediterranean Sea, it frequently forms dense agglomerations, often in association with the soft coral Alcyonium acaule. This P. axinellae cluster was photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. Type: photograph. Credits: Diego Delso.

The Picture of the Day of Thursday 16 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: Kaʻiulani.

Credits: unknown; restored by Mark Miller.
Kaʻiulani (Hawaiian pronunciation: [kə'ʔi.u.'lɐni]; Victoria Kawēkiu Kaʻiulani Lunalilo Kalaninuiahilapalapa Cleghorn; October 16, 1875 – March 6, 1899) was the only child of Princess Miriam Likelike, and the last heir apparent to the throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom. She was the niece of King Kalākaua and Queen Liliʻuokalani. After the death of her mother, Princess Kaʻiulani was sent to Europe at age 13 to complete her education under the guardianship of British businessman and Hawaiian sugar investor Theo H. Davies. She had not yet reached her eighteenth birthday when the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom altered her life. The Provisional Government of Hawaii rejected pleas from both her father Archibald Scott Cleghorn, and provisional president Sanford B. Dole, to seat Kaʻiulani on the throne, conditional upon the abdication of Liliʻuokalani. The Queen thought the Kingdom's best chance at justice was to relinquish her power temporarily to the United States. Type: photograph. Credits: unknown; restored by Mark Miller.

The Picture of the Day of Wednesday 15 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: Helen Hunt Jackson.

Credits: Charles F. Conly; restored by Adam Cuerden.
Helen Hunt Jackson (October 15, 1830 – August 12, 1885) was an American poet and writer who became an activist on behalf of the improved treatment of Native Americans by the United States government. She described the adverse effects of government actions in her history A Century of Dishonor (1881). Her popular novel Ramona (1884) dramatized the federal government's mistreatment of Native Americans in Southern California after the Mexican–American War and attracted considerable attention to her cause. Commercially successful, it was estimated to have been reprinted 300 times, with readers liking its romantic and picturesque qualities more than its political content. The novel was so popular that it attracted many tourists to Southern California who wanted to see places from the book. This albumen print of Jackson was taken in around 1884 and is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery. Type: photograph. Credits: Charles F. Conly; restored by Adam Cuerden.

The Picture of the Day of Tuesday 14 October 2025 on @wikipedia.org is: Devonshire Lodge.

Credits: Chris Woodrich.
Devonshire Lodge, also known as the Low–Martin House, is a mansion located in the Walkerville neighbourhood of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Commissioned by the rum-runner Harry Low in 1927 and designed by George Lawton, likely with input from Low, the mansion and its accompanying coach house were built in the style of a Cotswold cottage and completed in 1928. After Low defaulted on his mortgage, the building was sold in 1938 and in 1949. In 1961, it was purchased by Paul Martin Sr., a local Member of Parliament, who lived there until his death. By 2008, the Lodge required extensive renovations, which were ultimately undertaken over a two-year period by Vern Myslichuk after he purchased it in 2012. The Devonshire Lodge was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2008. Type: photograph. Credits: Chris Woodrich.
