1: It is written, "A beautiful construction of the 1987 AD, Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple...".

There is a correction though - Only the towere shown in the picture was constructed in 1987 and NOT the temple.

This temple is glorified in the Divya Prabandha, the early medieval Tamil literature canon of the Alvar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD, meaning that this temple was built much before that.
