Panchamuga anjaneyar

All might be familiar with Sri Anjaneyar who is popularly called with the name "Siriya Thuruvadi" (Periya Thiruvadi is Garudalwar). And Anjaneyar gives his seva in various forms.

Among those, Pancha Mugha Anjaneyar is said to have a special power and message to explain to this world. Now, in this article, let us know about the great thing about him.

“Pancha” means Five.
So, for Pancha Mugha Anjaneyar means Anjaneyar with Five faces.


Every Face of Sri Panchamukha Hanuman" has significance
Sri Hanuman faces East. He grants purity of mind and success.
The Narasimha" faces South. He grants victory and fearlessness.
The West facing -Garuda" -removes black magic and poisons.
The North facing -Varaha"- showers prosperity, wealth.
The Hayagriva" - mukha faces the Sky.
But since we cannot see it, it is usually tilted and shown above Hanuman's face.


Hayagriva gives Knowledge and good children.
(1) Eastward looking face : HanumAn (NaivEdhyam: Kadalai )
(2) Southward looking face: Narasimhan ( NaivEdhyam: Paanakam)
(3) Westward looking face: Veda Moorthy Garudan (Offering : Honey)
(4) Northward looking face: VarAha Bhagavan ( Sugar Rice & vadai)
(5) Face over the HanumAn's face: Lord HayagrIvan , VidhyA moorthy


The Vaishnavas evolved a syncretic form of Hanuman with five heads and ten arms, incorporating in the composite image five important Vaishnavite deities:

At the center a monkey's face (Hanuman).

A lion's visage representing Narasimha gazing southwards.

An eagle's head symbolizing Garuda facing west.

A boar head of Varaha (north).

A horse's face for Hayagriva (facing the sky).

1) The face of Hayagriva which is the face of horse, that represents the knowledge. Hayagriva is very famous to grant the knowledge. This represents the face of Brahma, who is representing the Veda or Knowledge.

2) The face of Varaha. Lord Varaha represents Vishnu because He lifted the earth and maintained it on His mouth. Vishnu is famous for the maintenance.

3) The face of Narasimha, which is the face of a lion that represents Lord Shiva. Narasimha destroyed the enemy against all the obstructing rules. Thus it represents the total destruction, which cannot be opposed by any force.

4) The fourth face is the face of Garuda. Garuda representsthe highest position in the devotees because none can fly to that height. He has the strength of the bull (Nandi) and tremendous velocity of the Swan.

The Swan represents the knowledge of discrimination because the swan separates the milk and water and thus represents Brahma.

Garuda is always associated with Lord Vishnu and the mark on His forehead (Tilaka) indicates Vishnu.
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
