The great Saint of Mantralayam Sri Guru Raghavendra swamy is known to have performed penance here for twelve years inside this temple which is a cave. Daily he worshipped Lord Sri Rama in that cave. After that, Sri Raghavendra swamy was doing medidation. While doing meditation he had carved the images of Lord Venkateswara and Sri Padmavathi devi on the rock inside the cave.
One day Lord Sri Anjaneya swamy blessed Sri Raghavendra swamy appearing before him with five faces ‘panchamukha’. The five faces of the Lord were Hanuman, Hayagriva, Narasimha, Garuda and Varaha. The image of the Lord Anjaneya in this unique form had been carved inside that cave. Hence This deity is known as 'Panchamukhi Hanuman'.

Daily thousands of devotees visit this holy place and offer prayers to lord Panchamukhi Hanuman. They conduct various sevas and Homas in this temple.
Always a pair of 'Paduka' (footwear) of Lord Hanuman is present near the 'Dhwaja Stambham' in front of this temple. There is a staunch belief that Lord Anjaneya wears them while going out. There is a stone mace which belongs to Lord Hanuman. This temple is surrounded by many natural rock formations which are wonderful to see. If you observe them carefully there is a 'natural rock formation in the shape of 'Pushpak vimana'(aeroplane in ancient days) and also a bed and pillow formation in rocks.
The shrine of 'Yerakalamma', the 'Gramadevata' ( the angel of the village) is located at a distance of 500mts from the Panchamukhi Anjaneya temple. Devotees visit this temple before going to visit the Panchamukhi Anjaneya temple.
