- One of the southernmost famous temples in South India, Ramanathaswamy temple was constructed during the 17th century on the Rameshwaram Island of Tamil Nadu. The temple holds a special importance for Hindus as it contains one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva around India.
Ranganathaswamy Temple, Trichy
Meenakshi Temple, Madurai- Ranganathaswamy Temple was constructed in the 6th Century AD as a tribute to Lord Ranganatha (a form of Lord Vishnu).
