Summary

Description
Srirangapur, also called Srirangapuram, is a village in Wanaparthy (Wanaparthi) district. It is located on the banks of Ratna Pushkarni – a historic, major man made water reservoir and a irrigation infrastructure project of the Vijayanagara rulers. Srirangapur is about 175 kilometers south of Hyderabad (NH 44), and about 65 kilometers north of Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh.
  • The Sri Ranganayaka Swamy temple is a Vijayanagara era temple built by Krishnadeva Raya, but damaged during the Deccan Sultanate era campaigns.
  • The temple was rebuilt in the 18th-century, and is a part of the five temples within the Sri Krishnadevaraya Group of Temples.
  • It is a Vaishnava temple themed around the sleeping Vishnu legends. Dasavatara and other Vaishnava motifs are found all over the temple.
  • The temple is Dravidian style with gopura and vimana architecture. It is a moderate sized temple with a large following of regional Hindus. The temple previously helped preserve Hindu manuscripts and was attached to a matha and school, along with a small park. Of these, the park remains active.
  • The temple sits on a small hillock overlooking the lake, and has several levels (talas). A mandapa in the lower level has a dedicated Chitrasala (image gallery, museum) with dozens of gold leaf covered paintings of Hindu gods, goddesses and mythology. These are in the 15th to 18th-century Indian style, with a three dimensional format (the images project out in a form where a relief is integrated with the painting).
