Ranganathaswamy Temples

Location

There are three Ranganatha Swamy temples in the area of the Shivanasamudra Waterfalls – one within the town of Shivanasamudram itself, another at Srirangapatna, and the third at Tiruchi.

Srirangapatna is the town which at one time was used as the capital by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, whose body is said to have been discovered here. The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangapatna is dedicated to the Hindu God Lord Vishnu who reclines on the snake Anantha.
