Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple:
It is possibly the largest temple complex in the country and feels like a self-sufficient city. Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, also known as Thiruvarangam, is located at Srirangam Island in Trichy. It is dedicated to Ranganatha, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. This temple is noted for its colossal figures and statistics. The complex houses as many as 81 shrines including 49 Vishnu shrines, 21 towers, 39 pavilions, and many water tanks. It is the world's largest functioning Hindu temple. This ancient temple finds a mention in the Sangam Tamil literature (1st to 4th century AD).
Devotees enter the inner sanctum from the south as is customary and they have to make their way through seven gopurams. The first gopuram is known as Rajagopuram and was added in 1987. It reaches a height of 73 m and is one of the tallest temple towers in Asia. There are strict rules of entry. Non-Hindu visitors cannot go beyond the sixth gopuram. A majestic idol of Lord Vishnu, seen reclining on Seshanaga, is placed in the inner sanctum. A visitor to this place is often rendered speechless owing to the sheer size, architectural expertise, and beauty of the temple. Make sure you see for yourself on a Tiruchirappalli tour.
Rockfort Temple:
The first thing that strikes your mind when you set your eyes on this temple complex is its unique build quality and distinctive features. Two temples have been constructed from a massive 272 feet high rock - the Ucchi Pillayar Temple and the Thayumanaswami Temple. The rock was first cut by the Pallavas but was eventually finished by the Nayaks of Madurai.
The Ucchi Pillayar Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha and was built in the 7th century. Legend has it that it is the place where Lord Ganesha had run away from Vibhisana after establishing the Ranganathaswamy deity in Srirangam.
The Thayumanaswami Temple: This temple is located at the base of the Rockfort and was built by the Pallava king Mahendravarman I in the 6th century AD. Thayumanavar is another name for Lord Shiva and the Thayumanaswami Temple is dedicated to the deity.
St.Joseph's Church:
Trichy is not only known for its majestic temples but also its stunning churches. During British rule, mass conversions took place to convert the people of the city from different faiths to Christianity. As a result of this, St. Joseph's Church came into existence in 1792. It was built by Shwartz. St. Joseph's College, neighbouring the church, boasts of producing luminaries such as former presidents of India, R. Venkataraman and missile-man A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. This is a popular addition in many Tiruchirappalli tours.
Kallanai Dam:
This dam which was built over 2000 years ago is a great example of how the city of Trichy preserves and protects its heritage. A highlight among tourist places in Trichy, This dam is located about 15 km away from the city centre and is built over the Cauvery river. Although the Kallanai Dam is quite old, it measures a staggering 1079 feet and is over 66 feet wide. It is the oldest functional water regulator structure in the entire country. You may have seen bigger dams but the view from this one is unmatched. Try to reach here at sunset. The sun going down on the horizon, making silhouettes on the water, is a breathtaking sight.
