Mathura - Ranganathji Mandir

As Mathura became the centre of Vaishnavism, many votaries from all over our Pavitra I3harat settled down and built temples to carry on religious activities. One such shrine existing here is the Ranganathji mandir constructed by the Nattukottai Chettiars of Chettinadu, down South. 'Ibis is the only temple that resembles the South Indian models in everything, say designing of tower, vimana, images of the deities including the ritualistic prayer services. Its vastness and sculptural elegance please the eye and soul equally well. Ramanuja sampradaya is followed in all activities. The archamurti and image of parivaradevatas display exquisite artistry of the sculptors that detain the visitors for hour. It is the most visit-worthy place after the Krishna mandir.

It is near the famous Krishna temple, accessible by walk or tonga from the bus stand.
