Usage
ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆDisplays the English Wikipedia's current picture of the day (POTD) in a box of no more than 600 pixels wide, with the blurb (explanatory text), for use on user pages. To always display the current day's POTD, use {{Pic of the day}}; to permanently feature a particular day's POTD, use {{Pic of the day|date=[date]}}, where the [date] parameter can be given in any valid format.
It is also possible to create your own custom POTD layouts, in case the already-existing versions will not look good within your user page design. Mix and match the following components to make your own. This system will only work for POTDs selected beginning January 1, 2007. Be sure to replace [date] with an appropriate date value. For a dynamically updating version, use {{#time:Y-m-d}} (example: {{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|image}}).

There are two additional predefined layouts:
{{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|column}}: This has the image and caption above each other with no borders. Used on some of the Main Page alternatives and also suitable for user pages.{{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|row}}: This has the image and caption encapsulated in (usually) a single table row. This is the version used on the current Main Page.
It is also possible to permanently feature a POTD for a selected day. Just add a specific value for the date you want. For example, today's POTD is {{POTD/೨೦೨೪-೧೧-೩೦|image}}. Likewise, you can use date parameters with the other templates as well. If you like the pre-made formats, you can use date parameters there as well, like this: {{Pic of the day|date=೨೦೨೪-೧೧-೩೦}} or {{POTD|date=೨೦೨೪-೧೧-೩೦}}. Again, this system will only work for POTDs selected beginning January 1, 2007.
