Hanuman: Hero. Monkey. God

A Statue of Hanuman

Hanuman is the ever-living (Chiranjeevi) son of  Lord Vayu and remains a very popular deity among Hindus. A bachelor and a fiercely loyal devotee himself (to Rama), his heroics in the war of Ramayan have inspired several tales of Indian mythology. Hanuman is the only character that appears in both the Hindu epics, the Ramayan and the Mahabharat, which are spread across millennia.
