This blog recounts a memorable pilgrimage to three sacred temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu: Adi Ranga (Srirangapatna), Madya Ranga (Shivanasamudra), and Anthya Ranga (Srirangam).
Early Morning Start and Adi Ranga at Srirangapatna:
Our journey began at 3 AM with a group of 35 devotees, embarking on a Volvo AC bus from Rajaji Nagar, Bangalore.
Filled with anticipation and devotion, we set off to seek the blessings of Lord Ranganathar. We reached Adi Ranga, situated in Srirangapatna, Karnataka, at dawn. The temple, known for its Dravidian architecture, houses a magnificent idol of Lord Vishnu reclining on the serpent Anantha. After a blissful and spiritually uplifting darshan, we continued our journey.Madya Ranga at Shivanasamudra: A Scenic Drive and Divine Encounter
The next stop was Madya Ranga in Shivanasamudra.
The journey through the scenic hill regions, though challenging with hairpin bends, added to the adventure. We were rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Kaveri River and the majestic hill views. The temple, dedicated to both Lord Ranganathar and Goddess Ranganayaki, offered a serene atmosphere and a divine experience.Anthya Ranga at Srirangam: A Grand Finale
The final destination was Anthya Ranga, the renowned Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam, Tamil Nadu.
This magnificent temple complex is famous for its seven towering gopurams, with the Raja Gopuram being a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture. The temple was bustling with devotees, creating a vibrant and spiritual atmosphere. Despite the crowds, we were fortunate to have a wonderful darshan of Lord Ranganathar.A Journey of Faith and Friendship:
The journey, though demanding, was an unforgettable experience. It was a testament to the power of faith and the camaraderie among fellow devotees.
