Srirangam and Thiruvanaikkaval

India / Tamil Nadu / Tiruchchirappalli /
Srirangam, also known as Thiruvarangam, is a small island town adjoining Tiruchirapalli in South India. Srirangam is bounded by the Kaveri River on one side, and the Kaveri tributary Kollidam (Coleroon) on the other. Srirangam is home to a significant population of Vaishnavites.
Srirangam is famous for its Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus (especially Vaishnavites) and one of the largest temple complexes in India. The gopuram of the temple is called the Rajagopuram and is 236 feet (72 m) tall. Myth has it that the coast of Sri Lanka can be seen from the top of the gopuram. The temple is constituted by seven prakaras (elevated enclosures) with gopurams articulating the axial path, the highest at the outermost prakara and the lowest at the innermost
