The Ranganatha Swamy Temple at Nirthadi (also spelt Neerthadi or Niratadi), is a post-Vijayanagara Empire re-construction. Nirthadi is a village in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka state, India. According to noted historian and epigraphist Benjamin Lewis Rice, a Kannada language inscription dated 1698 AD in the temple premise describes the destruction of the original temple by the armies of Mogul emperor Aurangzeb in 1696 AD. The Chitradurga chief Baramappa Nayaka (r.1689–1721) rebuilt the temple in 1698 AD.〔Epigraphia Carnatica: Inscriptions in the Chitaldroog District, Benjamin Lewis Rice, volumn xi, Mysore Government Central Press, Carnatic (India) 1903.
