History of Anjaneri Fort
Anjaneri fort is one of the most important forts in Trimbakeshwar in Nashik city. Anjaneri Fort is 4264 feet high above sea level. Lord Hanuman was born in Anjaneri and spent his childhood on Anjaneri Mountain.
The name after the god Hanuman's mother 'Anjani' Anjaneri Fort was named. Close to Jyotirlinga of Shiva Anjaneri is situated which is having a powerful significance of Trinity, which represents the three faces of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh.
God Hanuman is the 11th Rudra of the embodiment of Shiva, the image is Panchamukhi. This image was called "Sri Panchamukhi Anjaneya Swami" which is famous in the South.
Where does the concept of 5-Headed Hanuman come from? The concept happened during the war between Ram and Ravana in Lanka. It happened when the two brothers Mahiravana and Ahiravana were fighting from the Ravana's side.
Where does the concept of 5-Headed Hanuman come from? The concept happened during the war between Ram and Ravana in Lanka. It happened when the two brothers Mahiravana and Ahiravana were fighting from the Ravana's side.
They were said to be the sons of Ravana. The ruler of Patalpuri i.e. Hell is Mahiravana who was being a powerful practitioner of magic and dark arts i.e. a great Devotee of goddess Mahakali.
At that time Mahiravana captures Rama and Lakshman with his magic as they are sleeping. When Hanuman entered Patalpuri he discovered two brothers meant as sacrifice to the goddess Kali and also ordered to kill Mahiravana.
The five lamps were placed in five different directions which were extinguished by Hanuman simultaneously. In this way God Hanuman assumes the Panchamukhi in the form of Sri Varaha facing the North, Sri Narasimha facing the South, Sri Garuda facing west, Sri Hayagriva facing the sky and Hanumans own face facing to east.
