When Rama came back from [[Lanka]] along with [[Sita]], after killing [[Ravana]], he decided to pray to [[Shiva]] in order to absolve him of killing a Brahmin. Hence, a [[lingam]] was installed, and Rama prayed to it. Shiva is regarded to have emerged from the idol and sent Rama to Guru [[Gorakshnath]]. There are 12 [[Panth\|Panths]], and one of the Panths started from Rama.
