Srirangapatna

Srirangapatna is the neighbouring district of Mandya. Sri-Ranga-Patnam gets its name from the famous Ranganathar temple in the town.
Srirangapatna is one of the Pancharanga Kshetras in the course of the river Kaveri. The other four are Srirangam near Tiruchirappalli, Tiruvindalur near Mayiladuturai, Kumbhakonam and Koyiladi near Tiruchirappalli all in Tamilnadu, along the Kaveri as the river meanders in an easterly direction. Srirangapatna is also known as Aadi Rangam, Srirangam as Antha Rangam and Sivasamudram in Karnataka as Madhyarangam.(Ref)

History has Srirangapatna as the capital of Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali. The town has now turned into a tourist center. I could see bunches of people here and there circling foreign tourists. May be it is the "Athithi devo bhava" mentality.
