Heard that the anjaneyar turned his body towards the sea during Tsunami. The distinctive features of this temple is that Sri Anjaneyar had turned his direction facing the Straits of Malacca. The presence of Lord Anjaneyar is very much a vocal point in this powerful temple. Jai Hanuman!
Sri Anjeneyar Temple (or Sri Anjaneyar Alayam) is famous for the Hanuman deity who is said to have turned and faced the sea! This Hanuman idol though installed straight has somehow turned to the side (its left) facing the seaside (observe the face of the idol).
Legends say that Lord Hanuman turned his face to the sea. There is even proof that the Lord Hanuman's statue really turned. A British tourist once came to this temple many years ago and took a photograph of Lord Hanuman’s statue. It was facing straight. Few years later, when this same British tourist came and took photos he was shocked to see that The Lord’s Statue now faces the sea. It was really moved.

Sri Anjeneyar Temple (PD Hanuman temple) is famous for the Hanuman deity who is said to have turned and faced the sea. This Hanuman idol though installed straight has somehow turned to the side (it is believed that he is facing towards Rameswaram).
There were many versions of stories that supported this event, some said that during the early days, meat was offered in the temple and as a sign of not accepting the offering, the statue began to respond to such activities by turning itself to face the sea.
Another version says that, due to the immerse friendship of lord Hanuman towards Lord Shri Raam, the idol with the presence of Hanuman had miraculously turn itself to the direction of Rameswaram, as a sign of proof that existence Hanuman is beyond doubt.
