    (Translated by Google) # Around Rameshwaram Island Among the places of pilgrimage One of the five-faced Hanuman Temple. In the five-faced Hanuman temple, the forms of Hanuman, Hayagrib, Narsingh, Garuda and Varahaswamy can be seen at the same time. One of the floating rocks from which the bridge to Lanka was built is kept in this temple. At Rameswaram, Tamilnadu (Original) #রামেশ্বরম দ্বীপের আশেপাশে তীর্থ স্থান গুলোর মধ্যে #পঞ্চমুখী_হনুমান_মন্দির অন্যতম। পঞ্চমুখী হনুমান মন্দিরে একই সঙ্গে হনুমান, হায়াগ্রীব, নৃসিংহ, গরুড় আর বরাহস্বামীর রূপ দেখতে পাওয়া যায় । ভাসমান যে শিলা দিয়ে এখান থেকে লঙ্কা যাওয়ার সেতু তৈরি হয়েছিল তার একটি এই মন্দিরে রাখা আছে । At Rameswaram, Tamilnadu

    Lord had revealed his five faces here, hence the idol of Hanuman is depicted with five faces which are of Lord Hanuman in the middle along with faces of Lord Narasimha, Lord Adivaraha, Lord Garuda and Lord Hayagriva on the sides. Another major attraction of this temple are the ‘floating stones’ that have been kept at the temple for the devotees to see. These floating stones were used for building the floating bridge named Sethu Bandhanam, from Rameshwaram to Lanka so that Lord Rama, Lord Lakshman along with others could go to Lanka to rescue Goddess Sita and put an end to the brutalities of demon Ravana

    A must visit place to see floating Rocks which were used to build Ram setu. This temple has been ignored by local governments and people as development of temple is needed. Hardly people visit other temples apart from Ramanathaswamy temple, which isolated the development.

    Nice temple. The statue of five faced Hanuman is huge and one of a kind. The temple showcases floating stones said to be used in forming the bridge to lanka. Not sure if they are the same stones but its a good experience to get a glance of floating stones.

Floating stones in the Five faced Hanuman Temple Another major attraction of this temple are the ‘floating stones’ that have been kept at the temple for the devotees to see. These floating stones were used for building the floating bridge named Sethu Bandhanam, from Rameshwaram to Lanka so that Lord Rama, Lord Lakshman along with others could go to Lanka to rescue Goddess Sita and put an end to the brutalities of demon Ravana. Legend / History of Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple According to the legend, during the war between Lord Rama and demon Ravana who had abducted Goddess Sita, Ravana had seeked the help of Mahiravana, who was the king of Patala Loka. However, Lord Hanuman, in order to protect Lord Rama and Lakshman, had built a huge fortress around them with his tail. So, later Mahiravana disguised himself as Vibhishana, brother of Ravana who was helping Lord Rama in the war. He then took Lord Rama and Lord Lakshman to Patala Loka so as to kill them. Lord Hanuman while searching them also reached Patala Loka where he found out that in order to kill Mahiravana he is supposed to extinguish all the five lamps at the same time; these five lamps were burning in different directions. So to kill Mahiravana and save Lord Rama and Lord Lakshman, Lord Hanuman took the form of Panchmukhi Hanuman and put out all the lamps at the same time. The five faces of lord Hanuman are of Lord Varaha that faces the north, Lord Narasimha facing the south, Lord Garuda facing the west, Lord Hanuman facing the east along with face of Lord Hayagriva that faces the sky. Reaching Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple, Rameshwaram Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple is located around 2 km away from Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple. It is easily accessible by road. Tourists can go via all the major modes of transportations. One can take a bus or even hire a cab or auto rickshaw to the temple.

    This temple has the pumices (referred as floating stones) in display and there is a huge 5-faced Hanuman idol for dharshan. This temple vibe is different from others in Rameshwaram and seems to have non-Tamil staffs and management.

    Must visit place in rameswaram. Floating stones used for bridge in the stories we will see here. Photo graphy not allowed. This place is a cool place. But when you remove your shoes and touch your feet on the entrance you will feel you are in volcano. Best time to visit here is also morning or evening.

    Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple dedicated to a five-faced Hanuman that is a mere 2 km from the Ramanathaswamy Temple. This temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman and it is said that this is where Lord Ram had revealed five faces to Hanuman. The idol's five faces depict faces of Lord Narasimha, Lord Adivaraha, Lord Garuda and Lord Hayagriva on the sides. The other interesting aspect of this temple is the famed floating stones that are kept for all devotees to have a look. These are believed to be the stones that were used by Lord Ram to build the floating bridge from Rameshwaram to Lanka. It is quite fascinating to see the rather heavy stones floating in water so make sure you check out this place. And there are a number of places to visit here and please do not miss the gallery of Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam.

  • 5/5 Ankit B. 2 years ago on Google
    A small and simple temple but a unique one in India where Lord Hanuman is 5 faced. There is no other temple in India like this. Worth visiting if one is going to Rameshwaram An attractive thing about the temple is that it has floating stones - of the type that were used to make the bridge to Lanka in the Ramayana. You can touch them, push them under the water and they come up. They also appear to be of density greater than 1, so its a bit divine to see them float....

  • 1/5 Mr & Mrs J. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is dirty. The Tamils are in general allergic to live in a clean environment. Must wear masks and black glasses if you like cleanliness.

  • 5/5 Sankar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge sculpture of Panchamukhi Anjaneyar outside the mutt though its new but excellent details. Inside they have very old Anjaneyar sculpture and mentioned it as suyambu but some say its few hundred years old. They have floating stones here used for building Ram setu. Person managing this place explains the story on these stones very well. Its possible to touch and life those stones, please ask him. Must visit place overall.

  • 5/5 MANOJ KUMAR B. 1 year ago on Google
    The Panchmukhi Hanuman Temple is good because of God Hanuman. Temple is 2 km each from Rameswaram Temple and the bus stand. The temple is divided into two parts. When you enter, you can see the idol of Hanuman (Panchmukhi), and inside there is also a Panchmukhi Hanuman statue in orange colour, followed by a look at the legendary floating rock, which was used for making the Ramsetu by Lord Ram to reach Lanka. There is no entry fee for the temple; no mobile phone; and no photographs are allowed. It's a must-visit place when you are in Pamban.

    This temple at Rameswaram is famous for seeing the floating stone used in construction of Ram Sethu Bridge. A huge hanuman with five faces. The old one is inside the temple and photography is not allowed of this. Timing is from Morning 06:30 to Evening 06:00. The massive hanuman ji installed outside is new. It is a wish and hope of every Hanuman Baght that this statue also soon gets fully covered with Sindoor🙏

    Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir is believed to be the temple where Hanuman revealed his five-faces. Apart from the Lord Hanuman statue, the temple also includes the idols of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Laxman. The temple also has a floating stone, which is said to have been part of Sethu Bandhanam whose reference is also mentioned in the Ramanaya. Must have darshan.
