In Indian mythology, Hanuman is our deity. He is a symbol of energy, ingenuity and devotion. Lord Hanuman is considered the God of power and strength and is worshipped by millions every Tuesday.
Hanuman ji is said to be the living God of Kalyug. Hanuman is renowned for his faithful and steadfast service to Rama as told in the Ramayana epic in which Hanuman played an active part.
Panchmukhi Hanuman is considered five-faced Maruti. The five faces are of an eagle (garud), a boar (varaha), a hayagriv ( lion) and a monkey. One finds quite a few idols of the five-faced Maruti.
The idol has ten arms wielding a flag, a sword, a noose, etc. One explanation for the five faces of a deity is that the deity keeps vigilance and has control over the five directions - north,
south, east, west and the upward direction.
