Srirangam Ranganathar is Svayamvyakta -- on his own volition -- as an idol. He would appear likewise in eight places on earth -- Srirangam, Srimushnam, Venkatadri, Saligram, Naimisaranya, Totadri, Pushkara and Badri. Ranga Vimana is the first and the earliest of all these.
He appeared for Brahma's tapas and Lord Brahma installed this Vimana in Satyaloka . Ishvaku did lot of penance to install in Bhooloka - Ayodhya and his descendants worshipped including Rama. Lord Rama gifted this deity to Vibhishana who kept it down on banks or Cauvery for his prayers . The Lord stood ground from then. Vibishana has to return without the Lord to Lanka and he comes daily midnight to offer prayers to the Lord
