Source Google (Inside phone not allowed) It is believed that Hanuman took the panchamukhi form during Ramayana to fight Ahiravana, a famous rakshasha known for his black magic. Under orders from Ravana, Ahiravana disguised himself as Vibhishana to kidnap Rama and Lakshmana to the Patal Lok. While fighting Ahiravana, Hanuman realises that the only way to kill the demon is by simultaneously blowing out five candles in five directions. Hanuman promptly takes the form of Panchamukhi Hanuman to extinguish the lights and kills Ahiravana. The five faces of Hanuman are Anjaneya, Narasimha, Garuda, Varaha, and Hayagriva. The Rameshwaram Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple is believed to have been first located in Dhanushkodi, but the idol was later brought to mainland Rameshwaram after the 1964 cyclone destroyed the original temple. Some believe that the Hanuman deity in the Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple is over 700 years old. The deity is believed to have been carved out of a single stone and is said to be over 18 feet in height. But what’s unique about the temple are the floating stones kept on display inside the temple. It is believed that these stones were originally used to build the Sethu Bandhanam, the floating bridge that connected Sri Lanka to India. The bridge was built by Hanuman and his vanar sena to rescue Sita from Ravana.

Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir in Rameswaram is a serene and spiritually uplifting place that leaves a lasting impression on any visitor. The highlight of the temple is the magnificent idol of Lord Hanuman, standing tall and exuding divine energy. This Panchmukhi (five-faced) form of Hanuman is awe-inspiring, symbolizing protection and strength. The temple’s atmosphere is peaceful, with devotional chants adding to the divine ambiance. Adjacent to the main idol, the presence of deities Lord Rama and Sita further enhances the sanctity of the temple. Their serene idols serve as a reminder of the Ramayana’s eternal values of devotion, love, and righteousness. What truly sets this temple apart is the display of floating stones, believed to be remnants of the Ram Setu, the legendary bridge built by Lord Rama’s vanara (monkey) army to cross the ocean to Lanka. Holding these stones, which defy gravity by floating on water, is a surreal experience that connects devotees to the divine history. This sacred site is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Rameswaram, offering a mix of spirituality, mythology, and wonder. It’s a place that deepens your faith and leaves you reflecting on the epic tale of Lord Rama and Hanuman.

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.

रामेश्वरम मंदिर से लगभग 2 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित, इस मंदिर में भगवान हनुमान की मूर्ति को सेंथुरम या सिन्दूरम पहनाया जाता है। 1964 में धनुषकोडी के चक्रवात के बाद धनुषकोडी से भगवान राम, देवी सीता और हनुमान की मूर्तियों को मंदिर में लाया गया था। मंदिर में तैरते पत्थर या 'सेतु बंदनम' भी हैं, जिनका पौराणिक कथाओं के अनुसार भारत और श्रीलंका के बीच समुद्र पर एक पुल बनाने के लिए उपयोग किया गया था, जिसके माध्यम से भगवान राम और उनकी सेना ने देवी सीता को रावण के चंगुल से बचाया था।पंचमुखी हनुमान की उत्पत्ति का पता रामायण की एक कहानी से लगाया जा सकता है। पौराणिक कथाओं के अनुसार, जब भगवान राम, देवी सीता को उसके चंगुल से मुक्त कराने के लिए लंका के तत्कालीन राजा रावण से युद्ध कर रहे थे, तब रावण ने पाताल के तत्कालीन राजा अहिरावण से भगवान राम और उनके भाई लक्ष्मण को पाताल लोक ले जाने के लिए कहा। अहिरावण, रावण के नेक भाई विभीषण के वेश में, राम और लक्ष्मण को मारने के लिए पाताल में ले गया।जब भगवान हनुमान को योजना के बारे में पता चला, तो वे राम और लक्ष्मण की खोज में पाताल में प्रवेश कर गये। वहां पहुंचकर हनुमान जी को पता चला कि अहिरावण का जीवन अलग-अलग दिशाओं में रखे पांच दीपकों में छिपा है और इन पांचों दीपकों को एक बार में बुझाकर ही उसे मारा जा सकता है। इसे पूरा करने के लिए, हनुमान ने पंचमुखी हनुमान का रूप लिया और पांचों दिशाओं में सभी पांच दीपक बुझा दिए। हनुमान के साथ, अन्य चार चेहरे हयग्रीव, नरसिम्हा (शेर का चेहरा), गरुड़ (उड़ने के लिए) और वराह हैं। भगवान हनुमान को भगवान विष्णु के आशीर्वाद से चेहरा मिला। मंदिरों का शहर रामेश्वरम तमिलनाडु का एक लोकप्रिय पर्यटन स्थल है। पंबन द्वीप पर स्थित, रामेश्वरम हिंदुओं के चार तीर्थ स्थानों में से एक है। अगर आप रामेश्वरम के लिए उड़ान भरने की योजना बना रहे हैं तो ध्यान दें कि निकटतम हवाई अड्डा मदुरै हवाई अड्डा है। इस खूबसूरत जगह के लिए ट्रेन लेना सबसे अच्छा विकल्प है। यहां एक शानदार और लुभावनी रेलवे लाइन है जो समुद्र के ऊपर से गुजरती है। मंदिर के कपाट सुबह 6 बजे से दोपहर 12 बजे तक खुले रहते हैं। मंदिर शाम 4 बजे दोबारा खुलता है और श्रद्धालु रात 9 बजे तक यहां दर्शन कर सकते हैं। पंचमुखी मंदिर सभी दिन खुला रहता है। मंदिर में जाने के लिए कोई प्रवेश शुल्क नहीं है। Lion Dr Rana Sanjay Pratap Singh ( Dr Rana SP Singh senior physician Patna Bihar India)
