Nestled in the serene surroundings of Devadhanam, Sri Ranganatha Perumal Devasthanam stands as a beacon of devotion and cultural splendour. With a history spanning over 1,000 years, this sacred temple was built by the Chalukya kings and continues to inspire awe among devotees and visitors alike.
At the heart of the temple lies the majestic Sri Ranganathar, a divine form unlike any other – five feet in height and 18 feet in length, reclining under the protective hoods of the serpent Adhiseshan. The Lord here is uniquely crafted in sudhai vadivam (mortar and lime), a rare and sacred artistic expression that has stood the test of time.
Welcome to a Thousand Years of Faith and Heritage
The Divine Presence
Sri Ranganathar is portrayed in an eternal resting posture
- His head resting on a wooden measuring vessel (Marakkal Thalayanai)
- His right hand placed under His crown of hair
- His left arm extended over His body, signifying benevolence and grace
At His lotus feet stands Goddess Lakshmi, holding a lotus flower, while Bhooma Devi holds a blue water lily, symbolising prosperity and fertility. Opposite Him are Thumburu Maharishi and Bhakta Anjaneya, forever immersed in devotion.

According to temple lore, Lord Ranganathar rests after distributing grains to nourish the world during harvest season. The wooden measuring vessel beneath His head is a constant reminder of His compassion and generosity.
Adhiseshan forms a three-tier bed, 5.5 feet high, with His five hoods creating a celestial canopy over the reclining Lord – a sight that leaves every devotee humbled and blessed.
