• Origin
The practice of creating lord vishnu statue from paper mache has its roots in environmentally conscious art that goes well with temple sculptures. Vivid colors are used to portray the deity's form in a texture that is both smooth and intricate. The combination of light material and religious symbolism makes this Ranganathar idol stand out. In South India, particularly during festivals like Vaikunta Ekadashi and Panguni Uthiram, the Ranganathar idol form of Lord Vishnu is held in high regard. The deity is depicted in this statue reclining on the serpent Ananta, representing cosmic equilibrium and defense.
• The Divine Sleep of Ranganathar – Guardian of Devotion
Long ago, on the southern banks of the sacred river Kaveri, the sages and saints of ancient Tamilakam prayed for the Lord to reveal himself in his most peaceful and protective form. Answering their calls, Lord Vishnu manifested as Ranganathar, the reclining deity, resting upon the thousand-hooded serpent Adishesha, floating across the cosmic ocean. The Lord chose Srirangam, the island formed by the river’s embrace, as his eternal abode. In his gentle reclining posture—Ananta Shayana—Ranganathar watched over the world in divine stillness. Though asleep, he was ever aware, ever guarding the dharma of his devotees.
It is said that King Dharma Varma, a devout follower, once received the deity’s idol as a boon from Lord Brahma himself. Eventually, Lord Rama handed this very idol to Vibhishana, the noble brother of Ravana, who wished to install it in Lanka. But divine destiny willed otherwise—the idol would not move once placed on the ground in Srirangam. Accepting this as Vishnu’s will, Vibhishana bowed in reverence, and the sacred Ranganathar temple rose around the immovable Lord. To this day, Ranganathar lies in cosmic rest, his eyes half-closed—not in sleep, but in eternal awareness. Pilgrims from across the world visit the Srirangam Ranganathaswamy Temple to seek his blessings of peace, balance, and protection.
