The majestic rajagopuram of this temple stands 53m tall which is one of the tallest in Kumbakonam and the temple's architecture is a treat to watch if you have an eye for art.

Multiple visits needed in each temple at Kumbakonam. Whether it is inside feeling each sculpture on rock pillars or seeing with awe the gopuram, inscription with different stories, land of temples is for the curious

Amazing temple. Not so well maintained. Save temples from the clutches of governments.

Very big temple this temple I visited this temple.thi temple also in city centre. Busstand to 1.5kms local business will go or walkable distance between all temples. Here all shopings available. Sarangapani Sayana Perumal temple this is....

A huge temple, beautiful and we'll maintained. They open only around 7.15 am so it's best to come after that. Keep atleast an hour for this temple as there is loads to see and learn.

The Upapeetam and Adhishtanam of the Sarangapani temple in Kumbakonam in Tamilnadu. Due to the raise in the road level some portion has gone below. Wonder whether there's another Upapeetam. The gopuram has 11 tiers and a height of 173 ft.

It's the 12th Perumal Temple of Divyadesham series located in Kumbakonam, TN. The main Rajagopuram is so huge and finely curved. The architecture is awesome. One of the ancient temple of Lord Vishnu besides the river Kauvery and the highest Vishnu temple in Kumbakonam and has the tallest temple tower in the town. The temple rituals are performed each day on particular time. It is open in the morning and evening as well. As it's in the township area many shops are available nearby and can be easily reached. Very happy to visit this temple.

Amazing temple. Probably 2000 years old Vishnu temple in Kumbakonam. Narrow roads lead to this ancient temple. The priests are very helpful. Definitely visit this historic temple with beautiful architecture. Found the chariot type design of the temple very interesting.

A beautiful vishnu temple. Full of art (stone). Peaceful temple. Temple is in main heart of Kumbakonam city. I put only two photos only. The devotees go and see the real art or sculpture during this temple visit.

One of the important temple in the holy temple town of Kumbakonam. The main gopuram is magnificent. The carving at every level are beautifully crafted, and lively The long corridor leading to main mandapam takes back to the ages before. The presiding deity Lord Saranga pani is in reclining position. The little dissatisfaction I had of unable to see Thiru Ranganath swamy at Sri Rangam is fulfilled here. I bow my head at the priests, who are worshiping the God with so devotion. The temple is worth a visit who don’t see heart about it. Please take your kids also to the great temples and impart the love towards our religion.

This temple car (தேர்) of Sarangapani temple, Kumbakonam. Taken on 4th May 23. With its majestic looks and with people's devotion and fervor, it's moving graciously. I am very blessed to be in Kumbakonam that day. It's interesting to see those bulldozers adding force to move the massive car!
