Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple - We started our day in the early morning at the South gate of “Shri Ranganathaswamy Temple”, Trichy. This is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu & It’s located in Srirangam, Tiruchirappalli.

The temple architecture is in Dravidian style. This temple spans over an area of 156 acres, which makes it the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world.

Rock Fort - Then we travelled around 4 km and reached Rock Fort, Trichy. At the entrance, we were told that you have to climb 400 stairs to reach at top of the fort, but I dropped my visit because 2 years back I had my “Meniscus Tear” surgery so I had to avoid the stairs climbing.

This video has english audio subtitles, Just in case if your video plays by default in English, you need to go to settings and change your audio language preference..
Settings is that wheel shaped audio track which you see on top right when you play video on mobile you see that...

I would look forward to your inputs on this new thing that we have tried for the first time.

जय हिन्द जय भारत हरीश जी को 🇮🇳
बहुत ही बढ़िया और सार्थक दर्शन करवाने के लिए 👍 क्योंकि मैं तो गुजरात से हूं और आप जिस तरह से सनातन हिन्दू धर्म और संस्कृति और मंदिरों और वहां के खान-पान और जीवनशैली और परंपरा भी आप इतनी बारीकाई से अब दिखाते हो जो प्रसंशन्नीय और आनंद अनुभव होता है। हमारे भारत देश में भिन्नता में भी कुछ ऐसा लगता है कि अपना-सा लगता है 👍 दक्षिण भारत में जो लोग हिन्दी भाषा बोलते है और समझते हैं यह देखकर आनंद अनुभव होता है क्योंकि भाषा का बन्धन नहीं रहेता है 👍
ओवर ओल आपके हर एक एपिसोड बढ़िया और सार्थक प्रयास होता है जो हमें भी सहायक होता है ❤️👍👌🙏🕉️💪🇮🇳💪

Best Video of Tamilnadu Series.Whatever you have learnt about Madurai is 100% true. What I love about South Indian food is Simplicity. Sir Actually you are enjoying divine food which can only match with Jagannath Bhog of Puri.

[HarshAsawa]

हर बार की तरह बहुत अद्भुत जगह, खाना। हजारो सालों बने मंदिर को देखते ही अनुभूति प्राप्त हुई। लोकल खाना देख कर मंदिर देख कर वह आने का मन कर रहा है। धन्यावाद हरीश जी एंड टीम 😊

Congratulations for award Harish Sir well deserved

I have recently discovered an article in which it was mentioned that South Indian Filter Coffee is chosen as the second-best coffee in the world. That's enough to know how great South Indian coffee taste is. I always get amazed to watch the food colors and variety they serve in Tamil Nadu. Another great episode, great work, and happy exploring new destinations.

This temple is the third iteration of the Ranganathaswamy temple situated on an island in the Cauvery River. The initial one, known as Srirangapatna or Adi Ranga, is followed by Madhya Ranga near Shivanasamudra (both in Karnataka), and Srirangam marks the final, Antya Ranga. Nowadays, many are endeavoring to visit all three Ranganathaswamy temples on islands in a single day.

Again you missed out in Trichy similar to @Tanjavur. In Trichy, Jambukeswar temple is very famous and is one of the 5 elements (Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Sky) of Almighty Shiva's creation of universe. Jambukeswar is symbolic to water. Water is always flowing at the beneath of Lingam here.
