Three temples of this deity are at Śrīraṅgapaṭṭaṇa, Śivasamudra and Śrīraṅga. The first two are in the Karnataka state and the last one is in Tamil Nadu. The deities are known as: 1) Ādiraṅga; 2) Madhyaraṅga; 3) Antyaraṅga. All the three temples are situated on small islands created by the branching off into two, of the river Kāveri.
