  Shri Rameshwaram
Another Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva is situated on the peninsular tip Rameshwaram. Lord Rama installed this Linga there, when he was on his way to attack Ravana he reached this place where he made a linga of sand and worshipped it. It was also believed that when Lord Rama was drinking water on the seashore there was a celestial proclamation – "You are drinking water without worshipping me". Listening to this Lord Rama made a linga of sand, worshipped it, and asked to be blessed so that he could vanquish Ravana. Lord Shiva blessed him accordingly. He also requested Lord Shiva to reside eternally here so that entire humankind should benefit from it. Shiva then manifested himself as the Linga and were installed there for eternity.
