It was said that Vibhishana, younger brother of the Asura King Raavana was returning home after coronation of Rama. He had the idol of Lord Ranganathar with him and he was warned if he keeps that idol down, it would get affixed there forever. When he went to take bath he handed over the idol to Lord Ganesha who had disguised himself as a Brahmin boy. Ganesha kept the idol on the ground and ran away. The idol got fixed to the ground. Seeing this Vibhishana went in search of the boy who revealed himself as Lord Ganesha.
