Any Answer

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

Is there any difference between Lord Ranganatha Temple, Srirangam and

Srirangapatnam,Karnataka? If so, is there any history behind the

Srirangapatnam? Why Thipu created a duplicate temple at Karnataka.

Dear Ramesh,

 

There are 3 important temples of Sri Ranganatha

perumAL. As the river Kaveri flows, she keeps forking

her flow making 3 islands, and each of the islands has

a ranganatha perumALtemple. Starting from Shivana

samudra (Bluf) being Adi ranga, the Lord here has a

baby face, he looks much younger than the other two

thirumurnthy and Srirangapatana being madhya ranga and

finally she flows to Srirangam in TN again making

another island (antha ranga.)

members who are better informed requested to clarify.

I think the Temple at Srirangapatana was much earlier

to Tipu. To give credit to where credit is due, the

temple of Lord Sriranganatha is said to have been

built by the Chieftain Thirumalaiah in 894 AD. Tippu’s

period was in 18th century.
