    The document summarizes a trip taken by a group of people to visit the three Srirangam temples in one day. They started at 4am in Srirangapatna and had to wait until 7:30am for the temple to open. They then drove to the second temple, arriving around 9:25am but it was initially locked. They had lunch on the drive and made brief stops at the Tamil Nadu border and a nearby temple. They reached the third and largest Srirangam temple at 5:30pm, but had to wait until 7pm for darshan to resume due to large crowds for Ekadashi. They completed their darshan by 9pm, thankful to have visited all three temples in one

    Triranga Darshanam

    Date: 18-02-2012 Attendees: Venkatesh P, Ramalakshmi P, Venugopal P, Sudhakar P, Master Chandu Srivathsa and Prabhu(drove the car) Vehicle: Tata Indica Route Map to Triranga Darshanam:

    A: Srirangapattana, Karnataka B: Bannur, Karnataka C: Malavalli, Karnataka D: Kollegala Main Rd, Malavalli, Karnataka E: Madhyarangam Temple, Barachukki Falls Road, Chamarajnagar, Karnataka F: Chamrajnagar, Karnataka G: Bannari Amman Temple, NH 209, Erode, Tamil Nadu H: Satyamangalam, I: Erode Junction Railway Station, Erode, Tamil Nadu J: Karur Railway Station, Karur, Tamil Nadu K: Srirangam, Thiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu

    Important: We took the longest route above yet we reached the temple on time. This was possible only with the Lords grace. We had a superb driver who drove at 85kms and above consistently without compromising on safety. Note: Temple timings are very important. The first temple ( Srirangapatna) opens at 7:30am every day except for Fridays(opens at 6am) and Dhanur Maasam.

    Itinerary:
    Aadi Ranga: We reached Srirangapatna at 4am. We finished Magha snanam(bathing in river during Magha Masam) in the river Cauvery at Triveni Sangam and proceeded towards Sri Ranganatha Swamy temple at Srirangapatna. We were at temple door at 5am. To our surprise, the temple main door had a board displaying that the temple opens at 7:30am on all days except Fridays (6:00am). I also found out that the temple opens around 4:30am during Dhanur Maasam. There were 5 other groups of devotees waiting at the temple door hoping that the temple opens before 7:30am. I did strike a conversation with a few members in the group and it was clear that all of them were worried about making darshanam in a days time because of the delay in the first temple darshanam. This made a dent on everyones hopes of making the trip in a days time. The temple opened at 7:30am sharp and the darshanam of the Lord was nothing less than a feast to our eyes. We could not afford to spend an hour or more in the temple so we left the temple premises at 8am to Madhya Ranga. Madhya Ranga: We reached Madhya Ranga at 9:25am. When we arrived at Madhya Ranga, the temple was locked by the priest as there were no devotees that day. The priest stays close by (within a sighting distance from the temple) and we had to take flower sellers help to have him come back and open the temple for us and the other devotees who were trailing us. By the time we finished the darshanam at Madhya Ranga, the other groups arrived at the temple. We exchanged smiles and wished each other for proper completion of Triranga darshanam. We left the temple premises at 9:50am. We had lunch packed from home and took an hours break in the middle of Sathyamangala forest. We took another break of 30 minutess on reaching Tamil Nadu border. While the driver went to get the permit, we walked to Bannari Amman temple a few meters away from there. Anthya Ranga: We reached Srirangam at 5:30pm and took Thayaars darshanam within the temple. By the time we went to the take the Lords darshanam, the door to the Lords darshanam was closed. On enquiring we found out that the darshanam would resume at 7pm again. There was a lot of crowd as it was Ekadashi. We waited in the queue and had a fantabulous darshanam(a treat to the eyes!!) of the Lord Sri Ranganatha sleeping on Adishesha. After the darshanam, we had a Prasadam sold at the temple counter and relaxed thanking the Lord for facilitating this darshanam. We left the temple premises at 9pm to reach home. Om Sri Ranganathaaya Namah! Om Namo Narayanaaya! Om Namo Venkateshaaya!
