Description(24) Vellai Gopuram of Hindu temple Sri Ranganathaswamy Srirangam Thiruvarangam Tiruchirapalli India 2014.jpg |
The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple or Thiruvarangam Tamil : திருவரங்கம் is a Hindu temple dedicated to Ranganatha, a reclining form of Hindu deity, Vishnu located in Srirangam, Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, India. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, this temple is included in the Thiviya Pirabandham, the early medieval Tamil literature canon of the Alvar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD and is counted as the first and foremost among the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Vishnu. There are 21 gopurams (tower gateways), among which the towering 236-feet Rajagopuram (shrine of the main gateway) is the second tallest temple tower in Asia. The 73m high 13- tiered rajagopuram was built in 1987 by Ahobila Mutt and dominates the landscape for miles around, while the remaining 20 gopurams were built between the 14th and 17th centuries. The gopurams have pronounced projections in the middle of the long sides, generally with openings on each of the successive levels. The Vellai gopura (white tower, shown above) on the east side of the fourth enclosure has a steep pyramidal superstructure that reaches a height of almost 44m. La porte blanche ou Vellai Gopuram Ce gopuram date du XVème siècle. C'est le seul gopuram dont les décors n'ont pas été repeints d'où son nom. 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.
