Lord Hanuman is revered as a fine warrior and a great bhakta (devotee). As part of the vanara-sena that fought Lanka on Rama’s side, His valour and His love of Rama (and everything dear to Rama) are much talked about to this day. The fact that Hanuman is a superior yogi, possessed of the ashtasiddhis and the navanidhis, is oft overlooked.
The murti that you see on this page is a solid-cast work in pure bronze. Handpicked from South India, its glassy gold colour is a hallmark of the elite medium. It depicts Hanuman seated in a consummate ardha-padmasana, a seated-contemplative asana. The right hand is raised as if in blessing, while the left hand bears a pothi. In the crease of the left arm, the mace is balanced like a staff and not a weapon.
The tail flourishes behind His head, forming a circular frame around the halo. The composure of Hanuman’s countenance is gentle and wise and distant in an introspective sense. Finally, the crown on His head is tall and narrow and intricately sculpted.
