Ranganatha Temple, Thiruneermalai

The Ranganatha Temple stands on a hill with four separate shrines featuring traditional Dravidian architecture and stone carvings depicting religious scenes.

The temple complex, constructed during the 9th century, received patronage from the Chola dynasty and maintained its religious functions through centuries.

During Vaikunta Ekadashi festival, thousands of devotees gather at the temple to participate in ceremonies and offer prayers to Lord Ranganatha.

The temple remains open from sunrise to sunset, requiring visitors to remove shoes before entering and maintain silence within the sacred spaces.

The temple presents Lord Vishnu in four different positions - standing, sitting, reclining, and walking - each housed in separate sanctums.
