When Rama and Sita were returning to Ayodhya after Killing  Ravana they came to a place called Arasar Koyil which is believed to be Midhalapuri where Sita was born. They came to this place close to Arasar Koyil. Rama installed a Linga and performed Pooja here (Rama had the habit of worshipping Linga every morning and performing pooja.).
