The Vaijayanti (Sanskrit: वैजयन्ति, romanized: Vaijayantī, lit. 'garland of victory')[1] is a mythological garland or elemental necklace, primarily associated with Vishnu.[2] Employed in its worship as a garland, this object is also called the Vaijayantimala, or the Vanamala.[3][4]
In Sri Vaishnava tradition, the poet-saint Thondaradippodi Alvar is regarded to be a manifestation of the Vanamala.[5]
