Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus (especially Srivaishnavites) and one of the largest temple complexes in the world.
Srirangam can be considered the biggest functioning Hindu temple in the world as it covers an area of about 631,000 square metres (6,790,000 sq ft) with a perimeter of 4 km (10,710 ft). Srirangam claims to be the biggest functioning temple, because Angkor Wat is the biggest but non-functioning Hindu temple in the world.
The Srirangam temple complex is composed of 7 concentric walled sections and 21 gopuram . The gopuram of the temple is called theRajagopuram and is 236 feet (72 m) tall, the tallest in Asia.
