Sri Ranganatha Temple is one of the largest and most sacred complexes. This Vaishnava temple is situated on the holy island of Srirangam in the Cauvery River. The temple building started in the Chola period. Still, most of the works were carried out from the 13th to the 17th century under the patronage of the Pandya, Hoysala, Vijayanagara and Nayaka rulers. Coming to these ornaments.
This photograph shows part of the vast amounts of jewellery the temple received as donations from devotees. Indian Archaeological survey arranged these ornaments to have photographed in the year between 1896-1898.
The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple dedicated to Ranganatha, a form of the lord, Maha Vishnu, located in Srirangam, Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, India.
