In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Hindupedia: VaishnavismŚrīraṅgapaṭṭaṇa (श्रीरङ्गपट्टण) is a town hosting one of one of the three temples of Raṅganātha.—Raṅganātha is an aspect of Viṣṇu. Images of Raṅganātha are invariably in the śayana or reclining posture. Three temples of this deity are at Śrīraṅgapaṭṭaṇa, Śivasamudra and Śrīraṅga. [...] Śrīraṅgapaṭṭaṇa is a small town 13 kms. from the city of Mysore. According to the local legends, the great sage Gautama lived here and was worshiping the Ādiraṅga image. Tirumalayya, a chieftain of the kings of the Gaṅga race built the present temple in A. D. 849 and named the small town as Śrīraṅgapura. The Raṅganātha temple has been built in the Dravidian style of architecture. At the entrance of the navaraṅga there are two big images of Dvārapālakas.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
