SHIVANASAMUDRA
Nice Jasmine Mandapam near the Ranganatha swami temple in fron of the Laksmi temple (Ranganayaki).
The famous BLUFF, that is the gaganachukki, bharachukki falls are each just 5-6kms away from the temple.
Bharachukki
On the higher sides of Kaveri is this falls & farther from the temple, also need to watch it from quite some distance on the watch tower.
Gaganachukki
There is a mosque nearby. It is just 3-4kms away from the temple. And there is a beautiful spot for seeing the gaganachukki falls right behind the mosque.

Varadaraja Swami & Perun Devi
Vedanata Desikar with Kurma Peetha
When desikar had to reach Karnataka to save from British attacks & save the srirangam temple deties, he came to Satyagala where his follwers were all killed, he smeared their blood and acted as dead to save himself & dieties, thus protected, he made this Kaveri banks as his meditation place.
He later saw the temples of Varadarajar & Perundevi and decided the place to be holy and stayed here doing services to deties for around 12 years.
Here during his inital 10 days of stay and after meditation at Kaveri banks, a tortoise followed him, it continued for few days, which made desikar stop and check with tortoise, the tortoise made a request to make himself as peetam for Diskhitar;s meditation & did not budge until Dikshitar said ok. The next day the tortoise had formed into a stone peetam where Dikshitar used to meditate and this is available in left side insdie at the Perundevi temple.
