Hanuman

Divine vanara (monkey-like humanoid), ardent devotee of Rama, son of the wind god Vayu, and a central figure in the Ramayana.

Hanuman is one of the most revered and powerful deities in Hinduism, known for his immense strength, unwavering devotion, and selfless service. He is a central character in the Hindu epic Ramayana, where he is depicted as a divine vanara (a monkey-like humanoid) and the steadfast devotee of Lord Rama. Hanuman is the son of the wind god Vayu, which grants him extraordinary speed and power, including the ability to fly and change his size. He played a crucial role in Rama's war against the demon king Ravana, notably by locating Sita, burning Lanka, and bringing the Sanjeevani mountain to save Lakshmana. He symbolizes courage, loyalty, devotion, self-control, and strength. Hanuman is worshipped for his ability to overcome obstacles (Sankat Mochan) and is often invoked for protection and fortitude.
