History & Spiritual Origin of Panchamukhi Hanuman Kavach
During the epic Ramayana war, Ahiravana, the king of Patalas (netherworld), abducted Lord Rama and Lakshmana to his subterranean realm. Lord Hanuman travelled to Patala to rescue Them. He discovered that Ahiravana's life was protected by 5 lamps burning in 5 different cardinal directions.
To extinguish all 5 lamps simultaneously, Lord Hanuman assumed His majestic 5-faced form (Sri Anjaneya, Sri Narasimha, Sri Garuda, Sri Varaha, and Sri Hayagriva) and extinguished the lamps to slay Ahiravana. This legendary form is worshipped as Panchamukhi Hanuman.
