Natta Rameswaram Temple History:

As per the legends, Sri Rama installed the Linga here to get rid of the Dosha in Killing Demon King Ravana who is a Brahmin. Sri Rama reached West Godavari while on his way back to Ayodhya. He asked Anjaneya to bring Siva Linga from Kailash as time is lapsing, Sri Rama along with Sita Devi and Lakshmana made two Siva Lingas from the river Sand and worshipped the Idols. As these Idols were created with seashells (Natta) within, hence the name Natta Rama Lingeswara or Natta Rameswaram. Sage Jamadagni installed a Linga here. This Linga will be under the waters of River Gostani for 10 months in a year and will be available for Darshan only during Summer for 2 months i.e in Vaisakha Masam.
