OK Now I have two problems: first the MWE
\documentclass[12pt,reqno]{amsart}
%
\usepackage{graphicx}
%for Abc format title and author list
\makeatletter
\g@addto@macro{\endabstract}{\@setabstract}
\newcommand{\authorfootnotes}{\renewcommand\thefootnote{\@fnsymbol\c@footnote}}%
\makeatother
%for multi-line footnote format
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@makefntext[1]{\leftskip=2em\hskip-2em\@makefnmark#1}
\makeatother
%for left flushed section titles
\makeatletter
\def\specialsection{\@startsection{section}{3}%
\z@{\linespacing\@plus\linespacing}{.5\linespacing}%
% {\normalfont\centering}}% DELETED
{\normalfont}}% NEW
\def\section{\@startsection{section}{1}%
\z@{.7\linespacing\@plus\linespacing}{.5\linespacing}%
% {\normalfont\scshape\centering}}% DELETED
{\normalfont\scshape}}% NEW
\makeatother
%for formating subsection titles
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
\makeatletter
\def\subsubsection{\@startsection{subsubsection}{3}%
\z@{.5\linespacing\@plus.7\linespacing}{.1\linespacing}%
{\normalfont\itshape}}

\begin{document}
\section{Maya Devi Temple, Lumbini}\label{k}
\begin{figure}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{1} &
\includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{2}\\
\includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{3} &
\includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{4}
\end{tabular}
\caption{Maya Devi Temple is an ancient Buddhist temple situated at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lumbini, Nepal. It is the main temple at Lumbini, a site traditionally considered the birthplace of Gautama Buddha. The temple stands adjacent to a sacred pool (known as Puskarni) and a sacred garden. The archaeological remains at the site were previously dated to the third-century BCE brick buildings constructed by Ashoka the Great.[1] A sixth-century BCE timber shrine was discovered in 2013.[2]}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Now the first problem is that the apendix heading is coming below the figure itself which looks stupid. Also
the Section title is in caps (all of them) and I want it to be in Abc form, i.e. Not MAYA DEVI TEMPLE but "Maya devi temple"
Help!!! :s
i tried the following but no help:
\makeatletter
\def\specialsection{\@startsection{section}{3}%
\z@{\linespacing\@plus\linespacing}{.5\linespacing}%
% {\normalfont\centering}}% DELETED
{\normalfont}}% NEW
\def\section{\@startsection{section}{1}%
\z@{.7\linespacing\@plus\linespacing}{.5\linespacing}%
% {\normalfont\scshape\centering}}% DELETED
{\normalfont\scshape}}% NEW
\makeatother
