Story of Panchmukhi Avatar
Why did Hanuman ji take Panchmukhi Avatar? This avatar is also called Vamana avatar. There is also a story behind this which is recorded in religious texts, Ramayana and History. There was a war going on between Lord Rama and Ravana, during that time another brother of Ravana, Ahiravan, who lived in Hades, took away Lord Rama and Lakshmana. During that time Hanuman ji took the form of a fish and reached Hades and freed Lord Rama and Lakshmana from the captivity of Ahiravan. It is said about Ahiravan that there were 5 lamps burning in Hades. No one could do anything for Ahiravana as long as he lit the lamp, so Hanuman ji took the incarnation of Panchmukhi and extinguished the five lamps simultaneously. After that ended Ahiravana and won.
