March 06, 2014: Tradition holds that all the islands formed in the Kaveri River are consecrated to Sri Ranganathaswamy, and large temples have been built in very ancient times dedicated to that deity on the three largest islands. These three towns, which constitute the main pilgrimage centers dedicated to 

Ranganathaswamy, are:

Adi Ranga - at Srirangapattana

Madhya Ranga - at Shivanasamudra

Antya Ranga - at Srirangam
