Hanuman Idols/Murtis/Statues

Panchamukha can be interpreted as the five ways of praying to God in Hindu philosophy.
These five ways are known as naman, smaran, keerthanam, yacham and arpanam.
The five faces of Panchamukaa are each a depiction of one these five forms of worship.
Hanuman always used to naman, smaran and keerthanam of Rama. He totally surrendered (arpanam) to Rama.
He also begged (yachanam) Rama to bless him with undivided love.There are many legends and interpretations of this. One of the legend is that Lord Hanuman appeared before Raghavendra Swami in a unique way amalgamating
within him the avataras of "varaha, garuda, anjaneya, narasimha and hayagreeva", thus five-headed

The origin of Panchamukhi Hanuman can be traced in Ramayana. During the war, between Lord Rama and Ravana.Ravana took help of Mahiravanka who is the king of Pathala.Lord Hanuman in order to protect Lord Ram and Lakshman formed a fortress with his tail.Mahiravana took the form of Vibeeshana and took Lord Ram and Lakshman to pathala loka.Hanuman entered pathala loka in search of Rama and Lakshmana, He found out that to kill Mahiravana he had to extinguish five lamps burning in five different directions at the same time,so he has taken the Panchamukhi form with Hanuman, Hayagriva, Narasimha,Garuda and Varaha faces and extinguished the lamps and killed Mahiravana.

Hanuman was also called "langra veer"; langra in Hindi means limping and veer means "brave". The story behind Hanuman being called langra is as follows. He was injured when he was crossing the Ayodhya with the mountain in his hands. As he was crossing over Ayodhya, Bharat, Rama's young brother, saw him and assumed that some Rakshasa was taking this mountain to attack Ayodhya. Bharat then shot Hanuman with an arrow, which was engraved with Rama's name. Hanuman did not stop this arrow as it had Rama's name written on it, and it injured his leg. Hanuman landed and explained to Bharat that he was moving the mountain to save his own brother, Lakshmana. Bharat, very sorry, offered to fire an arrow to Lanka, which Hanuman could ride in order to reach his destination more easily. But Hanuman declined the offer, preferring to fly on his own, and he continued his journey with his injured leg.
