Sri Ranganathawamy Temple - Tiruchirappalli (Trichy), India

My first visit to a Hindu temple was the Sri Ranganathaswamy, one of the largest in India. It was beautiful and colorful and my pictures don't really do it justice. It was a huge complex with several major buildings, numerous statues and carvings.



Women who wish to be married place a lock on this alter at the temple and pray for a husband. Once married, the couple comes together to the temple to remove the lock. Cute.
