The pancha mukha hanuman is rare idol of Hanuman. There are many legends and interpretations to this.
The legend
Lord Hanuman is said to have appeared before Raghavendraswamy in a unique way amalgamating within him the avataras of "varaha, garuda, anjaneya, narasimha and hayagreeva", thus five-headed. Panchamukhi, located on the south bank of river Tungabhadra near Manchala now known as Mantralayam is where Raghavendraswamy performed penance for 12 long years in a cave. In appreciation of his Yoga, Lord Panchamukhi Pranadevaru, Kollahpura Mahalakshmi, Lord Venkateshwara of Tirupati and Kurmavathara gave darshan to him. Then he left for Mantralaya where he entered into Samadhi. A temple has been constructed at the spot where he performed penance known as the Panchamukhi Anjaneyaswamy temple.
The details of Panchamukaa are:
- East facing Anjaneya to grant humanity Ishta Siddhi.
- South facing Karala Ugraveera Narasimha to grant humanity Abhista Siddhi.
- West facing Mahaveera Garuda to grant humanity Sakala Sowbhagya.
- North facing Lakshmi Varaha to grant humanity Dhana Prapthi.
- Urdhva Mukha {atop} being Hayagriva to grant humanity Sarva Vidya Jaya Prapthi.
