At a distance of 3 Kms from Rameswaram Railway Station (around two kilometer from Ramanathaswamy Temple), Five faced Hanuman Temple has mythological evidence where Hanuman showed his profile with five faces.
The idols of Lord Ram, Sita and Hanuman, which are brought from Dhanushkodi during the cyclone of 1964, are kept here. The 'floating stones', which were used to build the Sethu Bandhanam (bridge) in Ramayana, are also kept in the temple.
There is floating stone outside the temple which was used to create the bridge on the sea as prescribed by our Indian mythology.
