Hanuman is a divine figure in Hinduism, often depicted as a monkey god and an ardent devotee of the deity Rama. He is a central character in the ancient Indian epic Ramayana, where he plays a crucial role in helping Rama rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. Hanuman is celebrated for his strength, agility, devotion, and loyalty. In Sanskrit, his name is हनुमान् (Hanumān), which is derived from the words हनु (hanu), meaning "jaw," and मान (mān), meaning "disposition" or "pride." In Hebrew, he is known as הנומן (Hanuman), and in other languages, he is referred to as Hanuman in Bengali, Hanumān in Hindi, and Hanumantha in Telugu. Hanuman is also revered in Buddhism and Jainism, where he is known by different names and holds varying significance. He is often worshipped as a symbol of physical strength, perseverance, and divine devotion. Temples dedicated to Hanuman can be found throughout India and in many other parts of the world where Hindu communities reside.
