PM Modi presented with coffee table book on Srirangam temple, featuring rare photos & 11 sections on its architecture, traditions & festivals.
Prime Minister Narenda Modi was presented with a coffee table book, Srirangam - The Resplendent Kingdom of Rangaraja, by BJP State President K. Annamalai during his visit to Tiruchi on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
The book, brought out by The Hindu Group of Publications, was launched during the Vaikunta Ekadasi festival at the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Srirangam on December 23.
Besides articles about the temple, the 454-page book features reports and rare photographs sourced from The Hindu Archives. It provides an overview of the temple, considered to be the foremost among the 108 Divya Desams. The book is divided into 11 sections, capturing the uniqueness of the temple, its architecture, rich religious and cultural traditions and festivals.
Mr .Annamalai presented the book to the Prime Minister while receiving him at the Tiruchi International Airport along with other party functionaries.
The airport’s new terminal, inaugurated by Mr. Modi, fuses elements from the temple architecture of the region, especially Srirangam. A huge temple-tower like structure, resembling the Rajagopuram of Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, serves as the main entrance at the ground level of the terminal building.

The silent reading movement in the Mylapore-Mandaveli-RA Puram area showed up first at Nageswara Rao Park around two years ago, with modest ambitions, when Balaji launched it along with other reading enthusiasts from the region. This initiative has now moved parks, and seems to set to get entrenched in one. Due to renovation work at Nageswara Park, the reading session became irregular. With the Nageswara Rao park work gaining more surface area, it had to be shifted elsewhere. And it seems set to continue with a newly discovered green patch in RK Nagar in the Sundays to follow.
