Located along the Puducherry–Tindivanam Highway at Panchavadhee (Panchavatee) near Moratandi (approx. 9 km from central Puducherry), this temple complex is famous for its colossal 36-foot monolithic idol of Panchamukha Sri Jayamaruthi Anjaneya (Five-faced Hanuman). Carved out of a single granite stone, the deity represents five divine aspects: Hanuman, Narasimha, Garuda, Varaha, and Hayagriva. Another major highlight for visitors is a floating stone weighing over 10 kg, believed to be part of the historic Ram Setu bridge built by Rama's army.

The Panchamukha Sri Jayamaruthi Anjaneya Temple, commonly known as the Panchavatee Anjaneya Temple, is a prominent Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Located in the village of Pappanchavadi, approximately 9 kilometers from Pondicherry, India, the temple is renowned for its unique architecture and spiritual significance.

Main Deity: The temple’s central deity is a 36-foot tall statue of Lord Hanuman in his Panchamukha (five-faced) form, symbolizing his multifaceted nature.

Architectural Significance: The temple complex spans 12 acres and features a 64-foot tall Vimana (tower) above the sanctum sanctorum, enhancing its grandeur.

Historical Context: The temple is situated in Panchavatee, a name derived from the five trees (Panchavata) under which Lord Rama is believed to have meditated during his exile, according to Hindu mythology.
