The site on Jyotirlinga gives following details about the Jyotirlinga: ‘Lord Siva with his consort Umadevi appeared in the sky and proclaimed, that those who took bath in Danushkodi and prayed the Sivalingam is called “Ramalingam.” The Deity there is Ramanathaswamy and the place is hence called “Rameswaram”. When Anjaneya returned with a lingam from far off Mount Kailas, the worship was almost over. He got angry and tried to remove the sand lingam by his hands. Sri Anjaneya tried to pull it out with his mighty tail. After failing in all his attempts, he felt the divinity of Sivalingam made of sand by Devi Sita. Sri Rama asked Sri Anjaneya to place the Viswanatha Lingam on the Northern side of Ramalingam. He also ordained that the people should worship Ramalingam only after worshipping the Lingam brought and installed Sri Anjaneya. The other Lingam is placed for worship near the Sri Anjaneya deity at the entrance – http://www.jyotirlinga.com/ramanath–rameshwaram.html
