Let us know our Temples & Gods.

Every Temples has “Moola Murti” & “Utsava Murti”.

Moola Murti, central deity is Achala Murti (Immovable).

Utasava Murti is representation of Moola Murti which is Chala Murti (Movable).

Mostly the Utsava Murtis are desecrated during the invasions because they are made of Precious metals, adorned with Gems & Jewellery & mainly was easy to destroy.
1) When Malik Kafur attacked SriRangam, Utsava Murti of Ranganatha Swamy was taken to Tirupati. After 40 years of worship (between 1320 – 1360) in Tirupati, It was brought back to SriRangam. (Proof – Ranga Mandapam in Tirupati)
2) After the desecration Aurangazeb built Gyanvapi Masjid over Kasi Viswanatha. Maa Ahalya Bhai built a temple near by in 1780. Even then the devotees considered the little visible Basement of Original structure more sacred than new & worshipped it. (Records of James Princep).
By these two instances it is clear that - Ranganatha was not installed in Tirupati, though it is famous Pilgrimage & New temple of Ahalya Bhai was not given new name but the same old name.
Every temple and its deity has different sacredness, Divinity, Sthalapuranam and relevance though they belong to same god.
If the “Kashi Vishwanatha Linga” is consecreated in Srisailam, that does not become “Mallikarjuna Linga”
It still remains with the same name & sacredness
