Sri Ranganathar, a reclining form of Lord Vishnu, is one of the most revered deities in Vaishnavism. Depicted lying majestically on the serpent Adisesha, he symbolizes eternal rest, cosmic balance, and supreme protection. Worshipped primarily at the grand Srirangam temple, he is considered the presiding deity of all Vaishnavite shrines. Devotees believe Sri Ranganathar grants peace, prosperity, and liberation, while embodying compassion and divine guardianship. His serene posture represents the universe’s rhythm of creation, preservation, and dissolution. Reverence to Sri Ranganathar is seen as a path to moksha, filling devotees’ lives with harmony, blessings, and spiritual enlightenment.

Its artistry makes it an ideal centerpiece in any Navaratri display, reflecting both cultural heritage and spiritual meaning.
Origin and Tradition: The custom of arranging golu bommai traces back to South Indian households, where steps are decorated with divine figurines during the nine nights of Navaratri. Each kolu bommai holds symbolic value, with Lord Ranganathar especially revered for his association with devotion, protection, and divine abundance.
Cultural Significance: The display of dassara dolls is deeply rooted in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Including Sri Ranganathar in the arrangement enriches the spiritual narrative, symbolizing blessings and prosperity for the family.
