I do agree that, historically, it was patronized by everyone. In fact, even the renovation was completed with the help of people like Ilayaraja, etc. However, no one can deny the complete brahmin dominance of the temple. I am from Srirangam and I am a brahmin. I know about the brahmin dominance in every aspect of the temple over there. If you claim that it is not the case, it is quite laughable. Sharan Sharma, anyone can read his blog to know who it is. If you can't see it, it is your problem. Sorry, I can't help you in this regard. xyz, if you want to portray Srirangam as a dravidian temple, I won’t agree with you fully.

Rather than throw accusations around, try countering posts with facts and logic. @Not a supremacist:
