8 Inch Handcrafted Five-Faced Lord Hanuman

Invoke divine strength, protection, and fearlessness with this majestic 8-inch handcrafted brass Panchmukhi Hanuman idol — a powerful depiction of Lord Hanuman in his most formidable five-faced (Panchmukhi) avatar. Measuring 8 inches in height and 5.5 inches in width, this sacred murti portrays Hanuman with five divine faces and ten mighty arms, each wielding sacred weapons, standing triumphantly on a demon (symbolising victory over evil) atop an ornately carved pedestal base.

The five faces of Panchmukhi Hanuman each hold profound spiritual significance — Hanuman (east) bestows purity and success, Narasimha (south) destroys fear and evil forces, Garuda (west) removes negative influences and black magic, Varaha (north) grants prosperity and protection from planetary doshas, and Hayagriva (upward) blesses devotees with knowledge and wisdom.

Skillfully cast in premium brass by expert Indian artisans, this statue showcases remarkable detailing — from the intricately crowned heads and ornate jewellery to the flowing dhoti, sacred janeu (sacred thread), and finely sculpted weapons including the gada (mace), trishul (trident), sword, and more. The rich antique golden finish enhances its sacred aura and adds timeless elegance to any spiritual space.

This brass Panchmukhi Hanuman statue is perfect for home temples, pooja rooms, meditation altars, office shrines, business premises, and entrance foyers. A deeply auspicious gift for Hanuman Jayanti, Tuesdays, Saturdays, housewarmings, griha pravesh, weddings, Diwali, and corporate gifting. Ideal for devotees seeking courage, protection, strength, and removal of obstacles.

Benefits of Panchmukhi Hanuman Idol

Worshipping the Panchmukhi Hanuman is believed to offer complete eight-directional protection, shielding devotees and their homes from negative energies, evil eye (nazar), black magic, enemies, and planetary doshas. Lord Hanuman's five-faced form is especially powerful for overcoming fear, anxiety, failure, and obstacles in career, business, and relationships. Devotees worship this murti to gain immense courage, mental strength, determination, and spiritual fortitude to face life's challenges. The idol is also known to neutralise Shani Dosha, Mangal Dosha, and Kala Sarpa Dosha, bring success in competitive exams and legal matters, and grant victory over adversaries. Regular worship cultivates unwavering devotion (bhakti), physical strength, and divine blessings for a prosperous, protected life.

Where to Place the Panchmukhi Hanuman Idol

Place the brass Panchmukhi Hanuman idol facing the south or south-west direction for maximum protective benefits, as this alignment is believed to guard against negative energies and enemies. Ideal locations include the home temple, pooja mandir, meditation room, main entrance (as a protective guardian), living room, or office reception area. For businesses, place the idol facing the entrance to ward off negativity and attract success. Keep the idol at an elevated, clean, and sacred spot — on a wooden platform, silver plate, or dedicated altar. Avoid placing the idol on the floor, inside bedrooms, bathrooms, or kitchens, and ensure it never faces north directly.

How to Use & Perform Pooja

Begin by cleaning the idol gently with a soft, dry cotton cloth. On auspicious days — especially Tuesdays and Saturdays, which are considered Hanuman's sacred days — bathe the idol with water or panchamrit, apply sindoor (vermilion) mixed with jasmine oil (chameli oil) to the forehead, as this is Hanuman's favourite offering. Offer red flowers (especially hibiscus), tulsi leaves, betel leaves, and naivedyam such as boondi laddoo, jaggery, or bananas. Light a ghee or sesame oil lamp and incense sticks. Chant the powerful Hanuman Chalisa, Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach, or the mantra "Om Sri Panchamukha Hanumate Namaha" for divine protection and strength. Conclude with aarti and sincere prostration.
