Hanuman, an ardent devotee of Lord Rama, is known for his immense strength and healing powers. The mountain of herbs symbolizes his role as the dispenser of remedies and the reliever of suffering. This masterpiece, originating from South Asia during the 18th-19th century, showcases the intricate and detailed craftsmanship of the time.
