Sri:

Respected Bhagavathas,

I have a doubt regarding the idols of acharyas / alwars that are installed in 
temples. I understand that the shastras say that if an idol of God is installed 
with the required rituals, the idol is equivalent to the thirumeni of the Lord. 
Being omnipresent, of course, God is present everywhere at the same time. 
However, all others, being jivatmas and atomic in nature, are they considered 
to be present in the installed idols? if not, why are those idols installed? 
Hope my question is not offensive to anyone.

Respects,

Vedalakshmi
