According to the ancient scriptures, Lord Brahma received the sacred deity directly from Lord Mahavishnu and worshipped Him with great devotion during the creation of the universe. Many generations later, Lord Rama inherited this divine idol through the Ikshvaku dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter defeating Ravana and restoring dharma, Lord Rama wished to honor Vibhishana, Ravana's righteous brother, for his unwavering devotion and virtue. As a blessing, He presented the sacred Ranganathar deity to Vibhishana and instructed him to carry the idol carefully to Lanka without placing it on the ground. As Vibhishana journeyed south, he paused on the banks of the River Kaveri near present-day Srirangam to perform his daily prayers. By divine will, Lord Ganesha appeared as a young boy and temporarily held the idol. When Vibhishana delayed returning, the boy gently placed the deity upon the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Vibhishana tried to lift the idol again, it remained firmly rooted to the spot. Lord Ranganathar declared that He wished to remain there forever to bless all devotees while continuing to face south toward Lanka, showering His grace upon Vibhishana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat sacred place became Srirangam, one of the 108 Divya Desams and the largest functioning Hindu temple complex in the world. For centuries, great saints including the Alwars, Sri Ramanujacharya, Vedanta Desika, and countless devotees have worshipped Lord Ranganathar with unwavering devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flower garlands offered to the Lord hold special significance in Srirangam, symbolizing the loving surrender of devotees. Every garland represents the fragrance of pure Bhakti offered at the Lord's lotus feet.
