Detail InformationEdit

The Five-Faced Hanuman Temple is highly famous in Rameshwaram, as this is the place, where Lord Hanuman revealed his five faces. These five faces were that of Lord Hanuman, Lord Adivaraha, Lord Narashima, Lord Hayagriva and Lord Garuda. It is believed that after revealing His secret, Hanuman was decorated with senthooram by the saints. The temple has a statue of Hanuman with senthooram. In 1964, the idols of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita were brought from Dhanushkodi and placed in this temple. It is believed that the floating stone used for constructing the stone bridge across the sea, lies outside this temple. This floating stone was used for building Sethu Bandanam, the bridge connecting India and Sri Lanka. These stones are oval in shape and are covered with tiny craters, such as coral which stays afloat in water. In this temple, tourists can also watch the movie based on the story of how Hanuman helped Lord Rama to find his wife Sita. This movie also shows Hanuman flying in air to Lanka to find Goddess Sita.
