Hanuman is a revered Hindu deity — a divine, monkey-faced vanara celebrated for extraordinary strength and wisdom. He embodies unwavering devotion to Lord Rama and stands as a symbol of service, courage, and loyalty. Endowed with powers such as flight and shapeshifting, Hanuman is regarded as the son of the wind god Vayu and, in some traditions, an incarnation of Shiva. He is considered a chiranjivi (immortal), and is widely worshipped for his selfless service.
