Lord vishnu temple situated in Srirangam, Trichy, Tamil Nadu. It is having the biggest and largest gopuram known as Raja Gopuram . Other than this, there are 6 other gopuram this temple is bestowed with. If you visit early in the morning, you will visit with peace. Try to avoid visiting during festivals as it remains too much crowded and probably you will not able to Swamy Rangnathan.
The Srirangam Temple, located in Tamil Nadu, India, is one of the largest functioning Hindu temples in the world. Dedicated to Lord Ranganatha(Vishnu), it spans an island on the Cauvery River. With intricate architecture, it's a significant pilgrimage site and part of the 108 Divya Desams. The temple's history dates back over a millennium, and its gopurams (towering entrance structures) are renowned. Pilgrims flock to participate in festivals like Vaikunta Ekadasi. The temple complex is a treasure trove of art, culture, and religious significance.
If you visit the temple during festive time like Vaikunta Ekadasi it takes 5-6 hours for darshan.
Very nice peaceful temple... ❤️
Note: Night time photos alone are taken on the date of Mohini Alankaram. You can enjoy the Gopura Dharisanam, with lovely lighting on this special day.
One of the biggest temple in tamilnadu. You can get buses from Trichy Sathram or the central bus stand.
Note: If you want to meet Ranganathan peacefully and to admire the beautiful temple architecture, please visit on non-festival weekdays.
On festive days, seeing Ranganathan in both paid(100) and free darshan may take 5 to 6 hours. I visited after vaikunda ekadashi, the water arrangements are insufficient for the crowd, and seating is available for the queue only inside the temple.
It is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ranganathan (Vishnu). Architecture and style is that of Dravidian. When you visit, it’s advisable to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The temple is open from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day. No tickets or booking needed.
This is another enormous premises located in Trichy, Srirangam. Unfortunately when we arrived in the afternoon the inner sanctum was closed and was opening at 6.00 PM. We would have been late if we waited until that time. But we took a stroll in the premises itself and felt very peaceful. Only one temple was open for the quick darshan but even that queue was huge for us to wait. The enormous gopuram is colourful and has one after the other on all 4 sides.
Divya Desam main temple. This temple is called periya temple and many other names by Vaishnavi people.
Temple is very big and about two hours required for to go round temple and take many art pictures. This is one of a big art treasure.
Don't go on festival and important dates. Go on weekdays and better go on ticket dharshan.
First visit to Sri rangan and Thayar sanathi and go round the temple with free time.

The temple complex is far from Trichy town. On the other side of the river and the direct bridge is not operable for some reason so the tuktuk has to make a huge detour. Once there (we went through the South Gate) you pass through commercial streets and several Gopurams There is a place to leave your shoes as you enter the more inner parts. From there it is more peaceful and quiet but you are hassled a bit. Unfortunately the discriminatory practice of not letting Hindu-looking people enter the most interesting parts is here as in most temples. However the stroll around is pleasant. The 50 rupee per person cost to go to the viewpoint is not worth it as you are not really high enough to view the overall layout. This temple seems to be more ‘commercial’ than some others we visited. There were juges lines of devotees who I believe had to wait hours for the darshan in some of he areas.
Best time to visit is morning or evening. Not in mid day. Very hot floor. Temple authorities silent. Every employee will present but do nothing when pilgrims running on hot floor. All required mats are wound kept aside with the employees.
Very beautiful and old temple. Cholan architecture temple. Must visit for everyone, no other state in India can beat the beauty of these tamil nadu temple.. Probably built when islam was still in caves. 🙏🏼
