Dear Sri Bala :
Pancha Mukha Sivan is a form of Sivan with
Five faces named SadhyOjjAtham , Isaanam ,
Tathpurusham , AghOram and VaamadEvam .
Pancha Mukha Vaadhyam with five faces
representing the five faces of Sivan is a Mebrophonic
Vadhyam played in ancient Sivan Koils such as
ThiruvArUr in Tamil Nadu and Possibly Vadakku Nathar
Koil in Kerala . You can see this instrument at
Madras Govet .Museum . It is played with Suddha
MattaLam in Siva PujAs .
It is rare to find an idol of Pancha MUkha Sivan in
a Siva Temple .
ParasivAs are the ones , who are exclusive players of
Pancha Mukha Vaadhyam . Your family probably comes
from the Parasiva Group devoted to Temple service
in the past .
Hope this helps ,
V.Sadagopan
