Srirangam is bounded by the Kaveri River on one side, and the Kaveri distributary Kollidam on the other side. Srirangam is famous for its Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus (especially Srivaishnavites) and the largest temple complex in India. It is also considered the first, foremost and the most important of the 108 main Vishnu temples (Divyadesams).
