There are more than a thousands of identical Shivalingas located, but no one has given specific explanations to which one is the real Shivalinga.
There actually exists a story behind this place - according to Hindu scriptures, the most powerful Linga was won by Ravana, for displaying his devotion towards lord Shiva. The shivling, by fault, fell from his hands to the ground and shifted to more than a thousand Lingas. This was the punishment for Ravana, hence he couldn't identify the real shivling and took on it in a hurry with himself. But the original one is still located here which has been worshipped since ages.
