The monkey god Hanuman, revered in Hindu mythology, is a prominent figure depicted in various forms across Asia. Standing tall as an exterior statue at the Sri Krishna Bagawan Temple, his presence exudes power and devotion. In Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, a magnificent statue of Hanuman captures the attention of worshippers and tourists alike. Dressed as this divine deity, a supposed holy man embodies the essence of Hanuman's strength and wisdom. Durbar Square in Bhaktapur, Kathmandu Valley showcases another awe-inspiring representation of Hanuman. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts a mesmerizing depiction where he reveals Rama and Sita enshrined within his heart. The intricate painting by a member of the Patua caste beautifully portrays their eternal bond. Hanuman's influence extends beyond statues and paintings; outdoor shrines dedicated to him can be found throughout sacred sites like the Ganges River. A shrine nestled within a chapel along its banks serves as a testament to devotees' unwavering faith. Historical artifacts also pay homage to this beloved monkey god. The grandeur of the Hanuman Gate at Kathmandu's Royal Palace transports us back to 1895 when artist C Goutzwiller crafted this masterpiece. Meanwhile, Cambodia presents an exquisite dance-mask from the 20th century that brings alive Hanuman's heroic role in Ramayana. A bronze statuette dating back to the 11th century stands as evidence of centuries-long veneration for Hanuman's divine attributes. Its craftsmanship speaks volumes about how deeply ingrained his significance is within Hindu culture. Even monkeys themselves are drawn towards their celestial counterpart - at Jakhu temple in Shimla, they flock around knowing it holds spiritual importance for their kindred spirit. In every corner of Asia where these symbols reside - whether it be through majestic statues or artistic renditions - one thing remains clear.
