Sri Ranganatha Temple
It is one of the very few temples in North India that follow the Vaishnavite tradition of South India, particularly inspired by the Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya.
Architecture of the Temple
Dravidian Style Gopuram: The temple boasts a 50-feet tall Rajagopuram (main tower) built in classic South Indian Dravidian style, rarely seen in North India.
Mandapams and Pillars: The temple features intricately carved pillared halls, large courtyards, and beautifully designed mandapams (pavilions).
Golden Kalasha: The sanctum has a golden kalasha (finial) atop the shrine.
Temple Tank: A sacred water tank called Pushkarini lies within the temple premises, used for ritual purification.
The blend of South Indian gopurams with North Indian domes and temple courtyards makes this temple architecturally unique.
