Sri Ramanujar Temple

About

Sri Ramanujar Temple, primarily dedicated to Lord Vishnu, unfolds a legend that traces back to the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva. As you enter, witness the majestic bronze figurine of Saint Ramanuja carried in a Palanquin for a divine circumambulation, capturing a moment of profound spirituality. The Bootha Ganas, witnessing a divine mishap, sought redemption at Sriperumbudur, where Lord Vishnu manifested as Adhikesava Perumal. The temple's sacred Ananthasaras pond, crafted by the serpent Ananthan, holds the key to relieving doshas, creating a spiritual haven. The architectural splendor of the temple mesmerizes with intricate pillars, detailed horse sculptures reminiscent of Srirangam Temple, and modern frescoes adorning the interior walls. The temple stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions and showcases an array of relief sculptures depicting the Dasavatharam. For visitors, this sacred site offers more than a spiritual retreat; it unveils a cultural journey through time. The temple, open from dawn to dusk, hosts daily rituals and vibrant festivals, including the grand Chitirai Brahmotsavam and Panguni Uthiram.
