Why did Lord Rama worship Lord Shiva at Rameshwaram?
People think that Supreme means he should always be kicking the head of others. This is the materialistic understanding of someone very powerful.
It's not necessary that the Lord should always kick everyone else all the time. But the Supreme Lord is Supremely affectionate to His devotees.
And Lord Shiva is His devotee.Any activity in the material world has an in-built fault which cannot be avoided. Of Course Lord Rama did not do anything wrong.
If anyone thinks Lord Rama is wrong, they are wrong.
After killing Ravana, Lord Rama came to worship Lord Shiva as per the instruction of Agasthiya muni to wipe off any sins that might have incurred due to killing a brahmana. It was not
required for him to do so but because he was Mariyadha purusha avatar where he sets ideals for human beings to live, he worshipped Lord Shiva.
Also Lord Shiva wanted to have Caranamrita of Lord Rama. But being a mariyadha purusha avatar, Lord Rama could not do that. And so He went to the ocean, bathed
and then after He put the water of the ocean into kamandala. Then he brought the water for abhishek for the Shiva Linga.
In this way Lord Rama fulfilled the desire of Lord Shiva to give His charanamrita.
