Srirangam temple is often listed as the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world (the still larger Angkor Wat being the largest existing temple). The temple occupies an area of 156 acres (631,000 m²) with a perimeter of 4,116m (10,710 feet) making it the largest temple in India[1] and one of the largest religious complexes in the world. The temple is enclosed by 7 concentric walls (termed prakarams(outer courtyard) or mathil suvar) with a total length of 32,592 feet or over six miles.
