Sharanga (Sanskrit: शारङ्ग, romanized: Śāraṅga) also spelt as Saranga, is the celestial bow of the Hindu god Vishnu,[1] primarily associated with his avatar of Rama.[2] In South India, the Sharanga is also simply known as the Kodanda, literally meaning bow.[3] Rama is often praised as Kodandapani, the holder of the Kodanda.
