Summary

Description

Piliers sculptés montrant des chevaux dressés avec des cavaliers et des soldats combattant des tigres dans le mandapa Sesharayar (4ème enceinte)

Les sculptures du Sesharayar (ou Sheshiyar) Mandapa, situé près de la porte est, datent de l'époque de Vijayanagar (XVIème siècle)

Les tigres symbolisent les musulmans avec lesquels la dynastie Vijayanagar était en guerre avant d'être totalement vaincue (voir le site d'Hampi)

Le temple de Srirangam est une véritable cité religieuse, dont l'édification a commencé au Xème siècle. Le sanctuaire dédié à Vishnu (golden temple) est au centre des bâtiments, c'est la partie la plus ancienne.

Srirangam est le premier des cent huit sanctuaires du dieu Vishnu (appelé ici : Ranganatha, qui est la forme de repos de Vishnou). C'est le plus vaste temple avec 156 hectares et le plus célèbre.

Le temple est constitué de sept enceintes dominées par 21 gopuram(s) (portes d'entrée monumentales). Il comprend de nombreuses boutiques, bassins, mandapa(s) et petits temples.

La partie centrale (au-delà de la 6ème enceinte) et le sanctuaire sont réservés aux hindous.
