Answer 2

Are you asking about the Rock Fort temple in Trichy or Ranganatha temple in Srirangam ---Trichy/Srirangam are like Hyderabad/Secundarabad -twin cities. Both temples are famous and have their attractions and appeal to devotees. Then, 5kms from Trichy is another large temple..Jambukeshwar... Please be specific in your question.

Anyway, I include a little info on the two in Trichy/Srirangam

Rock Fort

The Rock Fort Temple tops on a 83m high outcrop. This temple was built by the Pallavas as a small cave temple, but the Nayaks made use of its naturally fortified Position. It is a stiff climb, up the 437 steps cut into the stone to the top but well worth the view.  Non-Hindus are not allowed into the Vinayaka Temple at the summit and at the bigger Sri Thayumanaswamy Temple dedicated to Siva, halfway up.  

The monument is open daily from 6 am to 8 pm.

Ranganathar

This superb temple complex at Srirangam, about three kms from the Rock Fort is surrounded by seven concentric walls with 21 gopurams and is probably the largest in India.  Most of it dates from the 14th to 17th centuries, and many people have had a hand in its construction, including the Cheras, Pandyas, Cholas, Hoysalas and rulers from Vijayanagar. The largest gopuram in the first wall on the southern side was completed as recently as 1987, and now measures 73m.



The main temple is dedicated to Vishnu.  Even muslims are  said  to  have  prayed  here  after  the  fall  of  the Vijayanagar Empire. Non-Hindus are not allowed into the gold - topped sanctum, but they are  allowed  into  the sixth wall.  The whole place is fascinating. Bazaars and Brahmins' houses fill the space  between  the  outer  four walls,  and  you  don't  have  to  take  your  shoes  off  or deposit your bicycle until  you  get  to the  fourth wall. Just past the shoe deposit is an information centre, where you buy the ticket  to climb the wall for a panoramic view of the entire complex.  A temple guide will unlock the gates and tell you what's what.  It's worth engaging one of these  guides  as  there is  much  to see and you could easily spend all day wandering around  the complex.  There's also a small museum  containing sculptures.
