Bhagwan Brahma was performing pujas during Samudra manthan & Srirangam Vimanam along with Lord Ranganath's Murthy emerged. It remained in Satyaloka (Lord Brahma’s abode)for yrs where He worshipped Lord 🚩1/4 @SriRamya21 ImageImage
🕉 Later it was brought to Ayodhya by King Ikshvaku. Worship continued in Ikshvaku lineage in which appeared Bhagwan Rama, who killed Asura Ravan. He gave the Vimanam with Lord RanganathaSwamy ‘s Murthy to King Vibhishana who wanted to be with Bhagwan Rama🚩2/4 @_Mrityunjaya ImageImage

🕉 So King Vibhishina gave it to the Local King Dharma Varma requesting to consecrate the Vimanam & Lord RanganathaSwamy’s Murthy to face South blessing him & Lanka Eternally. Hence Bhagwan’s Murthy in a reclining posture faces South, his body aligned to the east-west axis🚩 4/4 ImageImage
