There is something about this temple that attracts lots of visitors; it could be the very human expression on Sri Rangaswami’s face or perhaps the smile on the Lord’s face. A visit to this temple is a different experience from the usual sobriety of prayer. A dark many pillared hall leads to the inner sanctum where the Lord rests on the back of a snake. The Lashadweepotsava( a lakh lamps), is celebrated during Makar sankranti in the month of January every year in this temple with great pomp and show.
