In the ancient area of Lord Ranganathas Temple one can find a 1000 pillar Mandapa, which is huge in size, and in the carnatic war between england and french in the year 1751 - 1759 AD a huge company of 10000 Men was camping under here. Nowadays this Mandapa is only open on Vaikuntha Ekadasi Festival were Lord Ranganatha is worshipped by all. Recently they have started a digging around the temple complex and recovered some of the beautiful carving of the base of this mandapa. Anyhow we could make our way inside and had a super natural view of this. We discovered that there is even a seprate empty shrine far inside with some wall painting in - as usual - bad condition! Anyhow it is a wonderful expierence to visit that mandapa, and i hope the temple authority keeps it clean and dont let it fall apart!
