Srirangam is not just a temple; it is a universe of devotion.

Revered as the First and Foremost of the 108 Divya Desams, the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam, Trichy, is the spiritual heartbeat of Vaishnavism. Often called Bhooloka Vaikuntam (Heaven on Earth), this massive temple complex spans 156 acres and is the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world.

Whether you are a history buff, an architecture lover, or a devotee seeking the grace of Lord Ranganatha, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Why is Srirangam the “First” Divya Desam?

Among the 108 Divya Desams (sacred abodes of Vishnu sung by Azhwars), Srirangam holds the title of Prathama Divya Desam.

Legend has it that the idol of Lord Ranganatha (the Ranga Vimanam) was worshipped by Lord Brahma, then Lord Rama in Ayodhya, and finally gifted to Vibhishana (brother of Ravana). While carrying it to Lanka, Vibhishana placed the idol on the banks of the Cauvery river to perform his prayers. The Lord refused to move from there, choosing Srirangam as his permanent abode, but graciously kept his face turned South towards Lanka to bless Vibhishana eternally.

Architectural Marvel: 7 Walls, 21 Towers

Srirangam is a city within a temple. The complex is designed with 7 concentric walls (Prakarams) representing the seven centers of consciousness (Chakras) or the seven worlds.

• The Rajagopuram: The main entrance tower is the tallest in Asia, standing at a staggering 236 feet.
• Thousand Pillar Mandapam: A granite wonder that comes alive during the Vaikunta Ekadasi festival.
• Ramanujar Sannidhi: This shrine houses the preserved physical body (Thirumeni) of the great philosopher Sri Ramanujacharya, who has been sitting in a meditative pose for over 900 years.
