It is said, if one ends the life of a Brahmin, one will suffer the 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶 𝗗𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗮(negative effects). Even though Ravana executed many horrible acts throughout his life, being of Brahmin status meant that Shri Ram incurred the sin of eliminating him.
After defeating Ravana, Shri Ram arrived at Rameshwaram, on his way to Ayodhya. He was advised by his Guru, Sage Vashishta to procure and offer puja unto the sacred Shiva Lingam, to be relieved of this Dosha(ill effect) and thereby continue his journey to Ayodhya in peace. Shri Ram heeded his Guru's advice and requested Hanuman to bring forth a Shiva Lingam from Varanasi. However, Veer Hanuman was unable to arrive at the auspicious time of Puja. Shivji himself appeared before Shri Ram and bestowed upon him a divine Lingam.
Hanuman returned, with 101 Lingams from Varanasi for Shri Ram to select. Disappointed, he realized he was too late on the delivery. Shri Ram, moved by the dedication and commitment of his Bhakta, proclaimed that precedence be granted to Hanumanji, to worship at the mandir where the sanctified Lingam was consecrated, and the small hill upon which the Lingam was installed at Rameshwaram, would bear the name of Hanuman (Kesarigiri).
