Being a vanara (group of people living in woodlands), Lord Hanuman took part in Lord Rama's warfare against Ravana, the demon king of Lanka.
Lord Hanuman is also named and glorified in various Indian texts and Hindu epic, which include Mahabharata, assorted ancient Hindu texts and in a few Jainist texts as well.
Also known as Pavana Suta, Maruti, Bajrangbali and Anjaneya, Lord Hanuman is celebrated as an avatar of Lord Shiva and the son of Vayu Deva (the Lord of the winds).
Lord Hanuman is often considered as the symbol of knowledge, devotion, valor, courage, strength, and humbleness and dedication to virtue. Seen as a robust monkey holding a monumental Gadha (mace) with a picture of Lord Rama on his chest, Lord Hanuman keep inspiring people forever.
