Hinduism - Where Is Tiruchirappalli In India?

  

The city of Cauvery is located on the Cauvery River in Tamil Nadu's central region, and it is the capital of the same-named district.

The city's strategic location made it a target for numerous southern Indian dynasties, the most recent of which were the Madurai Nayaks, who erected a magnificent fort on a stone outcrop in the city's center.

The huge temples of Shrirangam and Jambukeshvar, located on an island in the Cauvery River north of the city, are the city's most recognized attractions.

The first is dedicated to the deity Vishnu in his aspect as "Lord of the Rose-Apple (jambu) Tree," which has significant symbolic links with southern Indian rulers and monarchy; the latter is devoted to the god Shiva in his aspect as "Lord of the Rose-Apple (jambu) Tree."
