Senji Singavaram Ranganatha Temple

[1] The 24 feet long idol of Ranganatha, carved from living rock, is in a reclining pose on the coils of the serpent Ananta.

Durga with 4 hands holding the Shankha, Chakra, and two arms resting on her thigh and waist, stands on the head of Mahishasura.

[citation needed] An inscription of kōpperuñjinga (a Kadava chieftain) in the Singavaram temple mentions the deity is tiruppanrikkunru emperuman possibly meaning a shrine intended for Varaha Perumal.

[6][2] As per local ballads on the legend, Raja Desingh sought the God's blessings before his battle against Sadatullah Khan, the Arcot Nawab, in 1714 AD.

In the legend and ballads, God Ranganatha worried at the raja's plans to proceed with the battle, appears in front of Desingh's young wife who then seeks his permission for Sati.
