Lord Rama, an Avatar of Vishnu, worshiped the idol for a long time, and when he returned victoriously from Sri Lanka after killing Ravana, he gave it to King Vibhishana as a token of appreciation for supporting him against Vibhishana's own brother, Ravana. When Vibhishana was going via Trichy en route to Sri Lanka, the deity wanted to stay in Srirangam. Ranganatha, captivated by the devotion of a King called Dharma Varma, who was doing penance to have Lord Ranganatha to permanently stay Srirangam, stayed put, promising to cast his benign glance eternally on Lanka. Hence it is that the deity (in a reclining posture) faces South.

The journey started straight to the Trichy. You could find number of buses from the CMBT, Chennai. But beware the buses are not quite comfort.

By early morning, I have reached the Trichy. The bus has dropped me on the Highway. I took local bus to travel to the temple.
