The Panchmukhi Avatar of Shri Hanuman Ji Maharaj represents the five directions ime East, West, North, South and top directions. In the Panchamukhi swaroop Hanuman Ji’s face radiates a brightness equivalent to the light of thousands of Suns.

Story of the Temple

Ahiravan using his Maya had put all the sena of Shri Ram to sleep after which he took Shri Ram and Lakshman with him to Patapuri. When the sena of Shri Ram gained consciousness, Vibhisan could realize the foul play done by Ahiravan and he requested Hanuman Ji to rescue them back from the Patal Puri. On reaching Patalpuri, Shri Hanuman Ji defeated Makardhwaj and on going inside he found out about the boon with which Ahiravan was blessed i.e he could be killed only by the one who had the ability to extinguish 5 lamps which were lit by him at once. To tackle the situation faced by Hanuman Ji, he took the Panchmukhi swaroop and managed to extinguish all the 5 lamps at once itself. After which Shri Hanuman Ji killed Ahiravan and also managed to rescue Shri Ram and Laxman Ji from Patalpuri. From that time itself the Panchamukhi swaroop Hanuman Ji started getting worshiped for completion of even impossible tasks and victory over enemies.
