According to Sri Vaishnava tradition, she is regarded co-equal to Ranganatha himself, considered to be both the means and the end of worship to the divine couple.

According to local legend, the goddess appeared in a dream of a devotee and told him where her procession idol (utsava murti) was.

In Srirangam, however, the processional idol of Ranganatha is ritually carried by adherents to her sanctum, symbolically representing a husband visiting his beloved.

The shloka called the Sri Gunaratna Kosam composed by Parasara Bhattar is dedicated to Ranganayaki.

The Sri Stuti composed by Vedanta Desika and Kanakadhara Stotram written by Adi Shankaracharya are chanted by devotees of the temple in her praise.
