a grand festival that can remove professional imperfections is held in the Tamil month of Panguni (March–April). The Chithrai celebration was started in 1383 by Viruppanna Udayar, a king of the Vijayanagara dynasty. In 1371 (17th day of Vaikasi month), Lord Ranganatha was transported to the holy place following Muslim invasions. Temple at the time was in a terrible state of disrepair.

A town called Srirangam, close to Tiruchirapalli (Trichy), is well-known for housing the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple. With a total area of 156 acres, this enormous temple is thought to be the biggest operational Hindu temple in the entire globe. There are 48 separate temples throughout the vast temple complex. Lord Vishnu is the temple's main deity. On an island that was formed by the Kaveri and Coleroon rivers, the temple complex is situated.

Even while visiting the Srirangam temple at any time is a memorable experience, going during the Chithirai Car Festival has its own special allure. The Srirangam Chithirai Ther, or Chithirai Car Festival, is a significant annual occasion for the temple. The festival lasts for 11 days.
