This form of Hanuman is very popular, and is also known as Panchamukha Anjaneya and Panchamukhi Anjaneya. Hanuman assumed His Panchamukha form and accomplished the task, thus killing the rakshasa, and freeing Rama and Lakshmana. Mahiravana had taken Lord Rama and Lakshmana captive, and the only way to kill him was to extinguish five lamps burning in different directions, all at the same instant. Hanuman assumed this form to kill Mahiravana, a powerful rakshasa during the Ramayana war. The Panchamukha Hanuman Ashram itself was established by a saint called Venkatesa Battar. This place was known as Rudravanam in olden times when many saints and seers had blessed this place with their presence. A., 40 feet (12 m) tall monolithic green granite murti of Sri Panchamukha Hanuman has been installed in Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu. There is also a shrine for Panchamukha Anjaneya Swami at Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu, India.

The place where he meditated on this five-faced form of Hanuman is now known as Panchamukhi. Sri Panchamukha Anjaneya Swami was the main deity of Sri Raghavendra Swami.
