Visit to Srirangpatanam as on 17-Jun-2016

Srirangapatna one of the most important Vaishnavite centers of pilgrimage in South India. The temple was built by the Ganga dynasty rulers of the area in the 9th century; the structure was strengthened and improved upon architecturally some three centuries later.

Srirangapatna became the de facto capital of Mysore under Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.  Various monuments that dot the town, such as Tipu Sultan's palaces, the Darya Daulat and the Jumma Masjid(Friday congregational mosque), date from this period.
