[edit] Clarifications!!

Respected Mr.Boston, At the outset, thankyou for your warm note to begin with.

I would like to inform you that SRIRANGAM RENGANATHASWAMY temple is the largest temple and not Thiruvanamalai Arunachaleshwarar temple.

Thanks for your link but a careful read would have suggested that it was neither a compendium of information or is it official. Anyways I read it completely and found that there was no mention of the temple size but there was a blunt claim of it being the largest temple. Further search clearly indicated that the TIRUVANNAMALAI ARUNACHALESHWARAR Temple is 25 acres in size as compared to SRIRANGAM Temple which is 156 acres (6,31,000 Sqm) with a perimeter of 1,116 Km or 10,710 feet. You can check up with the official website of the teple in case you want any further clarifications.

I extend my apologies for having deleted completely the first portion of the article without any discussion, as i did not know that. the reason was that, the detailed explanation provided by me in the whole text encompasses the little information provided initially. My intention was to avoid repetition.

Any further edits, are welcome subject to discussions.

I also like to inform you that according to the religious details available the SRIRANGAM RENGANATHA temple is an exclusive temple of its kind and in no sense has any connection with other Renganatha temples as mentioned. So, i wish the articles dont get merged.

But I suggest we merge this SRIRANGAM article with the SRIRANGAM RENGANATHASWAMY Temple, as the temple and Srirangam are no distinct from each other. However the Srirangam article needs to be edited.

Thank you again!Arjunmurali 16:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes proposed for SRIRANGAM Article

1. "The construction of the temple spanned across three centuries from the 14th to 17th centuries and many rulers have had a hand in its construction, including the Cheras, Pandyas, Cholas, Hoysalas and rulers from Vijayanagar."

It needs to be understood that the rulers mentioned above never constructed the temple but actually performed "thiruppani" which means renovations etc. So it stands to be corrected.

2. i donot know any source which claims (religious or otherwise) the name of RENGANATHA at SRIRANGAM as ANTYA RANGA. Im afraid there are just three names to the main deity (moolavar) which are NARAYANAN and JAGANNATHAN (both before HE arrived to SRIRANGAM) and RENGANATHAN after HE reached this place. This needs to be corrected. As far as the other two temples on the bank of cauvery, we may discuss from other sources.Arjunmurali 16:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SRIRANGAM ARTICLE

I understand that in the SRIRANGAM Article a reference has been made to "Akilattirattu Ammanai" and corresponding detail provided.

It will have to be primarily understood that the SRIRANGAM RENGANATHASWAMY Temple derives its history from "Shathaadhyayi" and "Dashaadhyaayi". References are also made from Valmiki Ramayana and recorded recent history(dating back to the last 10 centuries) which are available.

Hence i believe it will be of great implortance to mention the actual history of the Temple from these sources initially.

The History is precisely written in the SRIRANGAM RENGANATHASWAMY Temple Article.

The changes will be incorporated in this page (SRIRANGAM) after discussion. Thank you.Arjunmurali 16:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
