It is Lord Sriranganatha who is known as 'peria-perumaal', not for physical 
magnitude, but that He was worshipped by Sriraama, who was himself 'perumaal' 
incarnated.
The longest (56 ft) ananta-Saayee is at Saaranga, district Angul, Orissa, 
reclining Open-to-Sky on the banks of river Brahmani; the second longest, is 
trapped in NTPC project at Talcher, about 30 miles to east of Saaranga.
