Panchmukhi Maruti

Panchmukhi-Maruti represents Lord Maruti with five faces. The name Maruti signifies Lord Maruti as the eleventh manifestation of Rudra, also known by names such as Hanuman, Rudra-avatara, and Anjaneya (Anjani's Son).\r\nMaruti's four heads, arrayed on either side of his shoulders, are those of a boar, a lion, a horse, and an eagle. The Pancha-Mukhi Maruti shown here symbolizes the incarnations of God Vishnu as Lord Narasimha, Varaha, Hayagriva, and Garuda. These heads represent Vishnu's attributes as Lord Narasimha, Garuda, Varaha, and Hayagriva. Lord Maruti assumed these attributes to kill 'Ahiravan and Mahiravan,' who allied with Ravana in a battle against Lord Rama.\r\nThis object is part of "Scan The World," a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory.
