When the ravan has cutted his nine heads, The Lord shiva is pleased with the devotation of the ravana. That time Instead of demanding powers he demanded the devotation. It pleased shiva more and shiva give ravana the tag that he is now called "Parambhakt" Of lord shiva.
Therefore the ravan got the Ego that he is the biggest devotee of lord shiva. Because of his ego the ravan had took hatha of taking Lord shiva to the lanka.
Lord shiva had glim of how ravan had got ego of the title "Parambhakt". If he the real devotee of shiva, he can also stay at kaillash to serve shiva. But he has faith that shiva would rush in if his parambhakt calls him. If ravan had called shiva he would definitely arrived. But ravana want shiva to permanently be in lanka.
In his hatha , ravan had placed many problems before shiva. At the end shiva agreed and said " I will be converted to shivling and whenever you place the shivling it will permanently be there." Ravana had pleased with that words of shiva and again in his ego he choose to go with walking instead of going in vimana.
After watching this Mata parvati got tensed of this event. Watching his mother in tension , ganesh had give promise of taking his father back. Even After ganesh had promised Mata parvati , he can't find a way of taking his father back. In this situation the Lord Vishnu helped the Ganesh by saying "Ravan still not reached to the lanka!"
Lord Ganesh then took the form of the baiju( Person who Graze the goats) and taken his goats in the way of ravana and start eating his food. Ravana had not eaten food or drunk water from the evening, And after all he is the king of lanka with all Pleasure and facilities of life.
Seeing the Ganesh eating his food , he also wished of eating food. But
.in his ego he thought "How can I eat the food of baiju?". Ganesh had known that ravan is attracted to his food so he asked ravan for food. But because of his ego ravan can't say "yes". In blink of the moment the food is finished and He just stood by looking this. After he asked for water, but water is also finished. After this ravan got angry and said "This is how you serve your guests?" Ganesh replied " I'm sorry, I just bring water for you from the nearer lake."
After going to lake Lord ganesh had called the VarunDev and VarunDev had poured whole lake's water in his pot and told after the ravan will drink it. Water will come in its actual size. As the ravan had drunk water it get started coming in its actual size. Because of this water ravan can't walked for long and want to go to the toilet. As he cannot take the shivling with him, He told baiju to hold the shivling at his hands before he arrives. He also stated that he must not put shivling to the ground.
Baiju replied that " He must go to his home after sunset so he could only hold the shivling to the sunset and if he will not arrive to the sunset he would leave the shivling to the ground. Ravan replied that "no, there would be no such situation." Because the ravan had drunk the whole lake , he could not arrive before sunset. So the Ganesh had placed the shivling on the ground.
After coming the ravan see the shivling on earth, seeing this the ravan got so angry that he screamed that "You say that I can only place the shivling!! , You say that you will come to the lanka!" Shiva had appeared before the ravan. Ravan asked him that "you promised me that you will come to the lanka! , How can you broke your promise!" Shiva replied that " I only promised that whenever you placed the shivling , I live there permanently." Shiva also added " You have gotten ego of being my parambhakt. If you are my real devotee , you will understand there is no difference between me and shivling. You have remembered that I am everywhere. If you really want to serve me, You can do it on kailash There is no need ti bring me to the lanka. If you are real devotee of me you will understand I am always with you. "
Where Lord Ganesh placed the shivling , The Place today is called Bajinath temple. This temple is stated at Kangra,Himachal Pradesh, India.
