Mantralaya Sri Raghavendra Swamy (Rayaru) in Moorthi form

Generally we don't come across Sri Raaghavendra Swamy depicted and worshiped as a Moorthi (idol).  It will be in the form of a Brindavana along with the idol of Sri Prahlada Raayaru.  But here I have come across a rare form of Sri Raayaru being worshipped at Nanjanagudu Sri Raaghavendra Swamy mutt in the form of an idol; installed by Sri Sujnaanendra Theertharu of Sri Raaghavendra Swamy Mutt. Depicted below is the picture of Sri Raayaru in the Moorthi (idol) form received through mail courtesy www.srsmutt.org. Also please find below a link for a brief write-up about the legend behind the idol and its consecration.
