Panchamukha Hanumadeeshwara Temple
The entrance of the temple is adorned with carvings of the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara, guarded by the serpent gods. The 'Gopuras' of the temple are a blend of North & South Indian architecture, while the entire construction is done in accordance with Vaastushastra and Agamashastra. In the sanctum sanctorum, a 16-feet Panchamukha Hanuman idol is exquisitely chiseled out of black stone, specially brought from Kanchi. Within the complex, devotees can also get a darshan of the Mahashivalinga of Panchamukha Parameswara, similar to that of the Pasupatinath temple in Nepal, and perform abhishekam. Blessings of Lord Venkateswara and Goddess Lakshmi can also be sought here.
Navagraha Temples
For the first time ever, the Navagrahas (9 planets) reside in individual temples, along with the presiding and corresponding deities and their divine consorts and vahanas. Each temple is painted in the colour representing the principal deity, installed in the original forms and seats. All details as to what puja to perform for which Graha, are explained clearly and simply on each of the temples. Devotees, whose horoscopes are flawed due to negative planetary positions, can get the relevant pujas, homas and other shanti pujas performed here. There is also a facility to perform Navagraha Homa for the eradication of evil.
Panchamukha Hanuman-Shiva
Everything about Surendrapuri is surreal and larger-than-life. Upon entering, you are greeted by two humongous statues of Panchamukha Shiva and Panchamukha Hanuman, both 60 feet tall. Both stand back-to-back and form an imposing addition to the rural skyline. The Panchamukha Hanuman has five different faces: Vanara, Narasimha, Garuda, Varaha and Hayagreeva; and holds ten different weapons in his hands. This is a protective avataar of Hanuman with an interesting story behind it. Hanuman manifested this avataar when Ram and Lakshman were kidnapped by Ravan's brother Mahi Ravan and saved his masters by killing off five bees in which Mahi Ravan's life was kept. The Panchamukha Shiva statue, on the other hand, represents the Pancha bhootha and the Pancha tatwa. Shiva manifested this avataar in order to kill some demons and his five faces are Sadyojatha, Vama deva, Aghora, Tatpurusha and Eeshana.
Nagakoti
Situated atop the Nagadri Hill, is a gigantic 101-feet Shivalinga encircled by Kaalasarpa, which has become a popular destination for devotees to offer prayers to Nagakoteeswara Swamy.
