ऊं नमो हनमु तेरुद्रावताराय सर्वशर्व त्रसु हं ारणाय

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.

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.

From that time itself the Panchamukhi swaroop Hanuman Ji started getting worshiped for completion of even impossible tasks and victory over enemies.
