In the Ahiravana tradition, Hanuman assumes five faces to extinguish lamps facing different directions and rescue Rama and Lakshmana from the underworld.
The story explains the form’s simultaneous directional awareness. It is presented as sacred tradition, not as a dated historical account of this Jaipur shrine.
