English term or phrase: Srirangam Island
Hi,

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srirangam

I wonder where I'm going wrong: I'm trying to translate the above name (the location of the well-known Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple) into Hindi (I think it must be something like श्री रङ्गम द्वीप, but I can find nothing on Google.

I realize, of course, that it’s in Tamil Nadu, where the official language isn't Hindi, but surely the Hindi language wouldn’t just “ignore” the existence of such a temple? This is why I think there's probably something wrong with my translation.

All the best,

Simon

Hindi translation:श्रीरंगम द्वीप
Explanation:
This is how it may be written in Hindi. In fact, Hindi has discontinued using the pancham varna of every varg unlike the past days. Instead, we now use anuswar (.) for this purpose.

srirangam island
श्रीरंगम मंदिर, श्रीरंगम द्वीप


Explanation:
There are two issues involved here. One is about the method of writing the word श्रीरंगम and the other is about finding a temple or an island with the name श्रीरंगम.

No doubt, the Srirangam temple is situated in Tamilnadu, but there is some information available in Hindi about the temple through the Google search engine. You should try to find out the available Hindi content by typing श्रीरंगम there. I could find out the following information:
श्रीरंगम
श्रीरंगम मंदिर 108 मुख्य विष्णु मंदिरों में सर्वाधिक प्रसिद्ध है और यह भारत का सबसे विशाल मंदिर है। श्रीरंगम मंदिर तिरुच्चिरापल्ली से लगभग 2 कि.मी. उत्तर में स्थित है और यहां मुख्य मूर्ति भगवान रंगनाथ अर्थात भगवान विष्णु की है, जो आदि शेष सर्प पर विश्राम कर रहे हैं, इस सर्प के पांच शीश हैं और इसके फन चौड़े हैं। भगवान के चरणों में रावण का भाई, विभीषण विराजमान है।

यह मंदिर 600 एकड़ वाले द्वीप पर स्थित है और पूरा परिसर लगभग 2 ट्ठ वर्ग कि.मी. क्षेत्र में फैला है। मंदिर में प्रवेश करने से पहले अपनी आंखे थोड़ी उठाकर ऊपर देखें तो मंदिर के टावर पर आपको श्रीरंग विमान दिखाई देगा, जो स्वर्ण-जड़ित है। मंदिर के 21 गोपुरम (टावर) हैं और मंदिर के चारों ओर सात दीवारे (परिक्रमा) हैं।

मंदिर प्रात: 6.15 बजे से 1 बजे तक और सायं 3.15 बजे से 8.45 बजे तक खुला रखा जाता है।
