BHPian srvm recently shared this with other enthusiasts: After 6 years with God’s grace, we did the Tri-Ranga trip again. This time it was me, my parents and my aunt (a total of 4 people).On Sunday 21-12-2025Left Bangalore and reached Srirangapatna in the evening. Stayed at King’s Inn. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Close to the temple. Visited Kaveri Sangama and Nimishamba temple on Sunday evening.On Monday 22-12-2025We reached the Adiranga temple by 5.30am. Huge crowds compared to our visit 6 years ago. Looks like this tri-Ranga pilgrimage has become hugely popular over the years. Finished darsan by 6.55am. Came back to King’s Inn and checked out by 7.20am. Had breakfast at Saviruchi Veg, Malavalli (8.30 to 8.50am). Reached MadhyaRanga temple by 9.15am. Again huge and undisciplined crowd. Hundreds of cars, tempo travellers, buses, and mini-buses in this small village. Temple is still in Balalayam state. Had darsan at 10am and started soon after. Reached MM Hills at 12 noon for a coffee and comfort break. Crossed Mettur at 1.20pm. Came via Poolampatti – Edappadi bypass – Sankagiri bypass.
