While on the way to Ayodhya, Rama decided to halt their journey here as sun is setting. Sri Rama wants to offer prayers to Shiva at the early hours, to get rid of his sin in Killing Ravana. Ravana is a brahmin so he needs to get rid of Brahmatti Dosham (Killing a brahmin). Sri Rama ordered Hanuman to bring Shiva Linga from Kasi. Hanuman who left to Kasi to bring Siva Lingam could not return within pooja time. To perform pooja within time, Rama had installed Siva Linga and performed Abhishekam, which he made out of Sand.
