Srirangam, also known as Thiruvarangam, is a small island town adjoining Tiruchirapalli in South India. Srirangam is bounded by the Kaveri River on one side, and the Kaveri tributary Kollidam (Coleroon) on the other. Srirangam is home to a significant population of Vaishnavites.

Srirangam is famous for its Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, a major pilgrimage destination for Hindus (especially Vaishnavites) and one of the largest temple complexes in India. The gopuram of the temple is called the Rajagopuram and is 236 feet (72 m) tall. Myth has it that the coast of Sri Lanka can be seen from the top of the gopuram. The temple is constituted by seven prakaras (elevated enclosures) with gopurams articulating the axial path, the highest at the outermost prakara and the lowest at the innermost.

Srirangam..... from Hyderabad. You need to take a Train to Chennai and from chennai there are trains to Srirangam.
The popular train being RockFort Express. This leaves Chennai around 10 pm and reaches Srirangam around 4:30 am. There are Trains from Warangal direct to Trichy, but limited number around 3 trains per week. (Tirukkural, Madurai - Jammutawi Express).
The Train from Hyderabad reaches Chennai around 8 am in the morning. So, you can plan to take a train called VAIGAI Express from Chennai which leaves at 12:25 pm and reaches Srirangam around 5pm. Ideal.
Similarly, the same train will leave Srirangam around 10am and reach Chennai around 2:30 pm, so that you can easily take the train to Hyderabad which leaves at 4:30 pm and at 6 pm (2 Trains).

I have little knowledge about Sedam. Sorry. But if you can reach Chennai, you can follow the rest of the process.
