Srirangam Srimad Andavan Ashram was established nearly 325 years back for the propagation of the Vasishtadhvaitham philosophy as propagated by Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja and Sri Nikamantha Maha Desika. There have been eleven peetathipathies adorning this Ashramam (including the present Andavan Sri Rangaramanuja Maha Desikan also known as Srimushnam Andavan).
