Since Rameshwaram has a history of being an important place of the epic Ramayan, naturally Hanuman cannot be too far behind! Check out the Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple dedicated to a five-faced Hanuman that is a mere 2 km from the Ramanathaswamy Temple. This temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman and it is said that this is where Lord Ram had revealed five faces to Hanuman. The idol's five faces depict faces of Lord Narasimha, Lord Adivaraha, Lord Garuda and Lord Hayagriva on the sides. Locally called the Panchamukha Anjaneya, do ensure that this temple is on your to-do list. The other interesting aspect of this temple is the famed floating stones that are kept for all devotees to have a look. These are believed to be the stones that were used by Lord Ram to build the floating bridge from Rameshwaram to Lanka. It is quite fascinating to see the rather heavy stones floating in water so make sure you check out this place.
