This Temple’s Significance

“As the foremost of the 108 Divya Desams, Sri Rangam stands as the ‘Bhuloka Vaikuntam’ — the spiritual abode on Earth. It is the very foundation of spiritual equality, where the Lord broke barriers of caste and status to accept the devotion of all, establishing that divine grace is universally accessible to every living being.”

At Srirangam, devotees can offer prayers for spiritual liberation (Moksha), divine protection, and inner peace

Historical and Spiritual Background

Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple

Come! Let’s go on this 108 Divya De:sa Yathra! Srirangam,Vaikuntam on Earth… considered to be the prime Divya De:sam of all. God treats all His creation equally. The very purpose of Lord Rangana:ttha Swa:my’s appearance was to accept the prayers of all devotees. Captivated by the pure devotion of Painan, who was from a downtrodden caste, Lord accepted his prayers and made him worshiped as Thiruppa:n A:lwa:r, one amongst 12 A:lwa:rs. His 10 divine songs were given equal respect as the Veidas.
