Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple
Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple, also known as Rangasthala, is a revered Hindu temple located in Chikkaballapur, Karnataka. Dedicated to Lord Ranganatha, a form of Lord Vishnu, this temple is known for its historical significance and architectural beauty.
The temple is believed to be one of the three Ranganatha temples where the idols were installed on the same day, along with the temples in Srirangam and Srirangapatna. The temple's architecture follows the Vijayanagar style, with intricate carvings on its pillars and a grand gopuram built by the Vijayanagar kings.
The idol of Lord Ranganatha is about 4.5 feet long, depicted in a reclining posture on the serpent Adishesha, with his consorts Bhoo Devi and Neela Devi seated near his feet. The serene atmosphere of the temple offers a peaceful retreat for devotees and visitors alike. Rangasthala is located approximately 60 kilometers from Bengaluru, making it a convenient destination for a spiritual visit.
The temple is also associated with the legend of Lord Rama gifting an idol of Lord Ranganatha to Vibhishana, which led to the installation of the deity here by the Saptarishis. Devotees believe that visiting this temple after worshipping at the Ranganatha temples in Srirangapatna and Srirangam grants moksha or liberation. The temple's sanctum sanctorum is designed to resemble a bamboo basket, reflecting the legend of Lord Rama's gift.
