Sarangapani Temple, Hindu temple in Kumbakonam, India
The Sarangapani Temple spans across a vast complex with multiple shrines, featuring a 12-story gopuram tower adorned with carved stone reliefs and sculptures.
The temple construction began during the 10th century under Chola dynasty rule, with inscriptions detailing numerous land grants and endowments from medieval South Indian rulers.
During Vaikunta Ekadasi festival, thousands of devotees gather to witness the opening of the Paramapada Vasal gate, marking the path to spiritual liberation.
The temple remains open from 6:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with special rituals performed during sunrise and sunset hours.
The temple chariot, measuring 30 meters in height, requires 300 people to pull it during the annual festival procession through Kumbakonam streets.
