Ranganathaswamy Temple, Bangalore, Hindu temple in central Bangalore, India
The Ranganathaswamy Temple features granite pillars with traditional South Indian architectural elements, housing the deities Ranganatha Swamy with Bhudevi and Neela Devi consorts.
Constructed in the 16th century during the Vijayanagara Empire period, the temple displays architectural influences from both Vijayanagara and Hoysala styles in its stone structures.
The annual Chariot Festival, occurring on Chaitra Shuddha Pournami, brings together thousands of devotees who participate in the ceremonial procession through the streets.
The temple opens early morning and closes late evening, with specific dress requirements including modest attire for all visitors entering the sacred premises.
During Vaikuntha Ekadasi, devotees perform the PradakshiNaa ritual by walking within the inner Praakaara, a special corridor surrounding the main temple structure.
