He ordered Hanuman to get a Shiva Lingam from Kashi for puja. by the time Hanuman could get the Lingam Agasthya made a Lingam out of sand and started to worship it. Hanuman when returned with the Lingam was annoyed, and try to destroy the lingam. The lingam has the imprint of the fist even to this day. The height of the lingam is about 60 feet placed near the river bed of Kaveri and Kapalli.
