Srirangam Temple Legends

Vibhishana brother of Ravana who stood by Rama during the battle, on his return from Ayodhya after attending crowning ceremony of Lord Rama. Lord Rama gifted Vibhana an Idol of Vishnu (Ranganatha Swamy) in a reclining position, which was worshipped by Ikshvaku dynasty. While gifting the Idol, Rama told Vibhishana that this Idol should never be placed on the Earth.  If it is placed then is impossible to lift the idol again, as it grows to the size which is impossible to remove from that location.

Vibhishana forgot the condition and laid it on the ground at the bank’s River Cauvery while offering Suryanamaskara and surprised to find the Idol starts growing. All his efforts in lifting the Idol went vain and prayed to the Lord. Lord consoled him by saying, “I will be facing Lanka in this reclining posture so that you can worship me from your homeland”.

That is the reason why Lord here facing the South. King Dharmavarman an ardent devotee of Sri Ranganatha Swamy, did a strict penance for the permanent stay of the Lord here. To fulfil his wish Lord Stayed here, and consoled Vibhishana. It is said that King Dharmavarman constructed the temple where Lord stayed permanently.
