Question on Srirangam

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

 

I heard recently that during the muslim invasion, the utsava mUrti of

srIrangam was placed for safe custody at tirumala for around 40 years.

Is this true? I have never been to srIrangam but I am under the

impression that the utsava mUrti is the processional idol and not the

main deity. Am I right? If so, where was the idol of the main deity

during this period of muslim rule? Did it remain in srIrangam?

 

Please reply if you know something about this. Also, a bit of history

would be helpful. Special request to srI vaishnavas for help. Thanks.

 

 

Regards

Lakshminarayana
