Full Itinerary
Morning
Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam
- Srirangam is famous for its Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus and the largest temple complex in India.
- Srirangam among a few “self-manifested” shrines (Swayam Vyakta Kshetras) of Lord Vishnu.
- Lord Sri Ranganatha of the temple appeared from the Milk Ocean.
- It is believed that Lord Brahmma worships the Lord just before sunrise each day.
- The gopuram of the temple is called the Rajagopuram and is 236 feet (72 m) tall, the tallest in Asia.
- The Srirangam temple is one of the three temples of the God Ranganatha that are situated in the natural islands formed in the Kaveri river.
- There is a gopuram fully made of gold, which is protected by electrical fence.
- Sriranganatha swami at Srirangam temple, sriranganathar is called Anatha Sayana Perumal (seen in lying position in the five headed snake) and blesses with his three wives namely Sridevi, Boodevi and Renganachiyar in the first enclosure of temple Srirangam.
- Lord Rama performed aradhanam (pooja) to Vishnu’s idol (deity in a reclining posture). As a symbol of love he gifted the idol to Vibishana (brother of Ravana of the Hindu epic Ramayana) to take back with him to Lanka. There was a condition that he could not set the idol on earth and if he did it would seat itself permanently. Vibishana took this idol and while traveling towards Lanka, came upon the banks of the river Kaveri. He placed the idol on banks of river Kaveri, while an utsavam was in progress. When the utsavam got over, the Lord refused to move as he loved the place (Srirangam). When Vibhishana requested him to come along with him, the lord refused but promised to bless Vibhishana by always facing South (the direction of Lanka, home to Vibhishana) Hence it is that the deity (in a reclining posture) faces South.
