Nice work Jimano.

Thiruppullani is also famous - even the name comes from - Darbhasayana Rama. Rama is said to have lain on a bed of darba grass for three days and nights while meditating on how to cross the ocean to vanquish Ravana. Hence Pull = grass/darba and aanai is bed.

Also, while listing prominent people from Srirangam, one must make mention of Kamban and his arangetram of Ramayanam in the Srirangam Temple in the Naalu Kaal Mandapam near the North Gopuram outside Thayar Sannadhi and adjacent to the Mettu Azhagiyasingar sannidhi.
