Trichy |
Rock Fort City Tiruchirappalli is also spelled Tiruchirapalli, commonly known as Tiruchi or Trichy formerly also pronounced as Trichinopoly under British rule). It is Tamil Nadu's fourth largest City. It is situated in the centre of the state, on the banks of the Cauvery River. The most famous landmark of Trichy is the Rockfort temple which is perched on a huge rocky out crop.
The smooth crop was first hewn by the Pallavas but it was the Nayaks of Madurai who later built the Rock fort temple. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha. Trichy city encompasses Srirangam, a Vaishnavite temple and the biggest functioning Hindu temple in the world. Trichy also contains "ThiruAnaikka" (ThiruvAnaikkaval), House of Water, one of the five main abodes ("Panchaboodha Sthalam") of Lord Shiva. Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born in Thiruvanaikaval and his house has been preserved as a museum.
The city has a multi-cultural society with a sizeable presence of Tamil, English, Marathi, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam-speaking population. The city projects a calm outlook and is considered to be friendly toward tourists. One may experience typical Anglo-Indian, Andhra and Kerala cuisines here. In addition to Pongal, the 'Thamizhar Thirunaal", Ugadi, Holi and Onam are festivals celebrated by their respective communities retaining their cultural roots. People living in Tiruchirapalli district have rich cultural heritage. The city served as the centre of fine arts since sangam literature. Uraiyur, the old name of Tiruchirapalli city, was the capital of early Cholas. Here lived a number of Tamil Scholars that have contributed to Tamil literature. People living here today speak mostly Tamil.
The main tourist attractions in Trichy are The Rock Fort and Srirangam. The Rock Fort or Ucchi Pillayar koil, is a combination of two famous 7th century Hindu temples. One is dedicated to Lord Ganesh and the other is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Temples sit on a rock that is 83m high and it is said to be one of the oldest rocks in the world. The rock is over 3 billion years old. In Hindu mythology this rock is the place where Lord Ganesh ran from KingVibishana, after establishing the Ranganathaswamy deity in Srirangam. The Rock Fort temple stands perched atop the rock.
The smooth rock was first cut by the Pallavas but it was the Nayaks of Madurai who completed both the temples under the Vijayanagara empire. The temple complex is composed of two parts: a Shiva temple (Thayumanaswamy) carved in the middle of the rock and a Pillayar (Ganesh)temple at the top portion of the rock. The Shiva temple is the bigger one, housing a massive stone statue of Shiva in the form of Linga along with a separate sanctum for goddess Parvati. The temple is mystic in its nature with an awe-inspiring rock architecture. The Ganesh temple is much smaller with an access through steep steps carved on the rock and provides a stunning view of Trichy, Srirangam and the Kaveri and Kollidam rivers. The temple is maintained by the Archaeological department of India. Srirangam, also known as Thiruvarangam, is on an island.
Srirangam is bounded by the Kaveri River (also known as Cauvery river) on one side, and the Kaveri distributary Kollidam (Coleroon) on the other side. Srirangam is home to a significant population of Vaishnavites (followers of Lord Vishnu, one of the triumvirate of Hindu Gods). Srirangam is famous for its Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus and one of the largest temple complexes in India. Srirangam is considered considered to be the biggest functioning Hindu temple in the world as it covers an area of about 6,31,000 m². (156 Acres) with a perimeter of 4 km (10,710 ft).Srirangam claims to be the biggest functioning temple.
