Overview
The latest source identifies this temple specifically at Paradise Hall Road, Indian Park. Its supplied short link resolves to 22.2961081, 70.7624148 and replaces a wrong inherited Panchmukhi coordinate.
Temple-specific establishment, founder, administration, icon details, orientation, architecture, sub-shrines and complete hours are not publicly documented.
The source’s Panchmukhi stories, mantra meanings, festivals, extensive Rajkot-area stop list and route maps are retained, with generic or regional material clearly labeled.
Main Deity and Sacred Forms
Five faces — general doctrine
Hanuman, Narasimha, Garuda, Varaha and Hayagriva are the standard Panchmukhi theological forms; the local idol configuration is not independently verified.
Weapons and posture
Ten arms, individual weapons, material and posture in the source are generic Panchmukhi descriptions, not confirmed local facts.
Associated shrines
Ram Darbar, Ganesha, Shiva and Shani sub-shrines are not publicly verified for this exact temple.
Name and Meaning
Panchmukhi combines pancha (five) and mukha (face). The standard devotional interpretation describes protection from all directions; it should not be mistaken for an evidence-based inventory of this specific murti.
Sacred Story and Legend
In the general Ramayana-linked Panchmukhi tradition, Hanuman assumes five faces to extinguish lamps in different directions and defeat Ahiravana. This explains the deity form, not the documented foundation of the Indian Park temple.
No temple-specific founder, establishment year or local origin narrative could be verified.
History and Timeline
Exact locality
Paradise Hall Road and PIN 360005 are supported by a current same-temple directory.
Exact pin repaired
The supplied map resolves to a temple coordinate different from the previous generic JSON.
Foundation
Not publicly documented.
Administration/contact
No verified trust, official phone, email or website was found.
Architecture and Temple Layout
Temple exterior
A temple-specific architectural description is not publicly documented.
Sanctum and idol material
Not publicly documented; generic stone, panchaloha or marble assumptions are omitted.
Orientation
Deity, garbhagriha and entrance cardinal directions are not publicly documented.
Sub-shrines
The source’s possible Rama, Ganesha, Shiva and Shani shrines remain unverified and are not presented as facts.
Spiritual Importance
Panchmukhi Hanuman devotion centers on courage, disciplined senses, protection and Rama-bhakti.
This broader theology is preserved separately from the Indian Park temple’s unpublished institutional history.
