Sarangapani is a famous Vaishnavaite temple in Kumbakonam. Situated in the middle of a busy market street, this temple used to be the tallest temple tower in Asia with its mammoth 12 storied Gopura built by the Nayak Kings in the 12th century. The chariot festival held in the spring season attracts a lot of devotees during the Tamil month of Chittirai.
