About Jyotirlinga
The nature of Lord Shiva is infinite, at all these Jyothirlinga sites, the primary image is Linga or Llingam representing no beginning and no end Stambha(pillar), that symbolises the infinite nature of The Supreme Lord Shiva.
Existence of Jyotirlinga
According to Shiva Mahapurana, once Lord Brahma (the God of creation) and Lord Vishnu (the God of preserver and protector of the universe) had an argument over supremacy of creation of the Brahmanda or Universe. To settle the argument or dispute between Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu, The Supreme God Lord Shiva(the God of destroyer) pierced the three worlds appearing as a huge and an infinite Stambha(Pillar) of Light, that is the Jyotirlinga. Afterwords it cooled into the Holy Mountain called Annamalai where the Temple of Arunachaleshvara is built. Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma choose their ways to downwards and upwards respectively to find the end of the light in either direction. Lord Brahma played a gimmick and lied that he found out the end of the light, but Lord Vishnu admited His defeat. This lie of Brahma angered Lord Shiva making him curse Lord Brahma that even though He is the creator of the Universe or the Brahmanda, He would not be worshipped on the Earth. That's why there is no temple of Lord Brahma on the Earth, the Creator of the Brahmanda or the Universe.
