Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir is a temple located in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, that is dedicated to Lord Hanuman. The temple is known for its unique architecture and the presence of floating stones, which are said to have been used to build the Ram Setu bridge that connected India to Sri Lanka.


The temple is believed to be around 500 years old and is considered an important pilgrimage site for Hindus. It is located in the heart of Rameshwaram and is easily accessible to visitors.

The main attraction of the temple is the presence of the floating stones, which are kept on display in a small room inside the temple. According to legend, Lord Hanuman used these stones to build the Ram Setu bridge to help Lord Rama cross the ocean to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The stones are believed to be so light that they float on water, and visitors can see this phenomenon for themselves by placing the stones in a bowl of water.
